Lisa,
It is not possible to search the photo's to see to whom they are attached.
Some time ago I started to work out away of doing this using Open Office
Base, which would work in a similar way in Access, but other things
intervened and I never got to finish it!
As far as I can see the only chance of doing this is by using one of these
two programs. I'll have a go at finishing it but it will take a little time.

Thanks Richard, that is interesting but the locations are fine. What I
need is to print out a list of ALL the actual images with who they are
attached to.
For example this list you sent me to shows I have files in:
1.C:\Legacy\photos
2.C:\Legacy\documents
That is correct, but on some folks they have somehow gotten a reference
entered twice to the same file in one of the two folders so that the same
photo shows up twice when you look at that individual's photos. I need to
know if the software will search for duplicates or somehow allow me to
print out a list of everyone with all the referenced files for images
listed so I can more readily identify duplicates. ANYTHING would be
better than just trying to search through every one of some 24,000 names!
I'm so irritated this other software did this! It has wreaked havoc on
our database! :(
Thx!
Lisa
Quoting Richard Van Wasshnova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Go to VIEW /MASTER LISTS / PICTURE LOCATIONS. Print list. See which
locations you set yourself. Delete the locatons set by other program.

Subject: [LegacyUG] HELP! duplicate multimedias
I'm in the process of learning Legacy, but I have a problem I'm hoping
some of the experts on this group can help me with. Another software
program put in duplicate entries for photos and documents (all
duplicates are multimedia items) attached to the genral person or a
person's fact item. They are EXACT duplicates referencing the same
image, and making the image and it's description appear twice on a
fact/person. :( Is there a way to have Legacy search for and
consolidate/remove so that there is only one reference to each
multimdedia item? If not, is there a way for me to get Legacy to give
me a list of people with duplicates so I can more easily locate them.
This is a MESS and I'm hoping Legacy, which is apparently a much more
powerful application, can help me straighten it out.
Thx!
Lisa
