Well I think I really screwed up, -big time... again! While working with my family file in legacy deluxe, I managed to delete all of the paths to the pictures and thereby eliminating the pictures within legacy. I know that they are still on the hard drive where they are supposed to be, I was able to reestablish the paths by simply importing it from a recent backup of multimedia. However, this did not import the pictures that were attached throughout the program.
I know that I can go to the picture center and reattach all the pictures, one by one, by using a printout of the various paths, and names of the pictures from the backup, and then manually attaching them into my current file. I have done quite a bit of work repairing my current file, so, to go back to the backup file, and use it would be lot more work than trying to attach the pictures... I think. I try to import the multimedia into my current database, but I could not figure out how to do it so that it would attach all the pictures as they were attached in the backup. I hope I didn't confuse everybody too much, if not, then you can see my problem. The paths to the pictures in the backup file are the same paths that the current file will use when the pictures are attached. In other words, is there a way to import the pictures to the correct individuals, event's, sources, and so forth, a long with the paths that the pictures are in? A merge is out of the question; because there were some errors in the line numbers and they had to be corrected manually, and I believe those errors remain in the backup. Since we do have multimedia backups, it seems that there would be a way to bring the multimedia pictures into the current database if it has the same individuals, and events, sources, and so forth that use the same RIN, and MRIN numbers. Additional events and individuals that I have added to the new database did not include any pictures in them, so they would not be affected. Looking forward to some help, lots of help, any help.
