Not sure quite what you mean by "doesn't put the images back into the Legacy file." The images never are "in" the Legacy file: Legacy stores the location of the images so that it can find and open them. If you backup your multimedia files and later restore them (using Winzip or whatever) TO THE FOLDER WHERE THEY CAME FROM Legacy will have no trouble in locating and showing them. If you are getting an error message that Legacy can't locate an image you have restored it to a different folder and you need to either move it (and probably all your other images) back to where it was originally or else tell Legacy where the image(s) is/are now stored. If they are in more than one folder, you just need to find one image in each folder for Legacy then to locate everything. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
