Hi Steve, Not sure what's the cause of your problems. If it helps, the registry settings allow you to toggle the appearance of the dialog box and also the default choice. The relevant key locations are: -
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MyLifeOrganized.net\MyLife\Settings\ConvertPathToRelative HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MyLifeOrganized.net\MyLife\Settings\ConvertPathToRelatveDoNotAsk Change values from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 as required. My usual boring warnings about the registry apply (if you don't know what you're doing - leave it alone, if you do - back up before editing).
