Hi Jonathan or any helpers,
Jonathan's instructions for using Access to move my MM files worked well on
2 files.
A problem remains from way back though. Whenever I backup MM I get error:
one or more files not found. In Options/ Customize/ Test all MM Paths/
I find 2 missing files for source citations:
=============
Missing Multimedia Files in: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My
Documents\vanwasshnova2jan2006.fdb
Sound/Video: Name: Source Detail: Sound/Video: Name: Source Detail
C:\Legacy\MM\PRDH\Word Couple Family\PRDH225.doc
Sound/Video: Christening: Source Detail: Sound/Video: Christening: Source
Detail
C:\Legacy\MM\church docments\1053431\Rheinsheimnames.xls
============
I can't find the person or MRIN who is supposed to be sourced to these 2 MM
files. I can't remove these 2 links because I can't find where they
originally were supposed to be.
Any help appreciated

NON-Legacy Method 1
1. Backup everything
2. Make a non-D&S directory, e.g. c:\aa on both laptop and desktop
3. Move MM or whatever the lowest non-Microsoft folder w images on both
machines into aa. Don't change anything beneath MM (which is what you
want to avoid, right?).
4. Open your legacy .fdb file in Access and open table "tblBP." There
you will see a list (mine has 14) of paths to image-containing
directories.
5. Using the "Replace" function (crtl-H) search and replace the srting
"c:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents..." (or whatever) with
what you recently set up, e.g. c:\aa\. Although you may have myriad
folders, it is only the root chunk of the path that needs changing, and
it should be the same in all listings, thus efficiently done by search
and replace.
6. Close out of Access, open Legacy, and see if it worked.
