Ron,
I'm confused. The photos themselves aren't duplicated, only the links
in the database--it two duplicate links to exact same photo. Are we
talking about the same thing??
Thx!
I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONES HELP WITH THIS!!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!
MUCH BETTER SUPPORT THAN I HAD WITH THE OTHER PRODUCT THAT CAUSED THE
PROBLEM TO START WITH! LOL

Lisa,
A thought has come to mind! But first how many different picture
folders do you have for Legacy? The reason I ask this. is that if you
merge the pictures into one folder (I realise this may be very big)
when doing so Windows will draw your attention to the duplicates (
assume that they have the same file name?) and you can just refuse to
merge them.
It is a simple matter for Legacy to find the new location as all you
need to do is when it finds a missing picture is to point it to the
folder with all the pictures in and it will then find the others. You
can always split the find later and redirect Legacy to the new folder.

Subject: [LegacyUG] HELP! duplicate multimedias
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 07:43:21 -0500
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
