Brian, The path for you documents is found in Options>Customise>Launch, this is what Legacy uses as the default location/path for your document files, so in your case should contain C:\Legacy\Docs\Lehman Family Docs\. However, you now mention that your files are contained in sub-folders, and, therefore I assume that this path will not contain any images, how Legacy will handle this I don't know. It may be that you will need to use a sub-folder eg. C:\Legacy\Docs\Lehman Family Docs\Birth\, but I do not have the same set-up as yourself, so I cannot test.

So I am not really concerned with losing anything. The file path where I keep my scans and the default location for my Document files are C:\Legacy\Docs\Lehman Family Docs\ (subfolders for Birth,Death,Census, etc.) Honestly, I might have created the sub folder "Docs" in the main Legacy folder, not sure. I just tested the linking of my scans and legacy is still trying to first look in the Data folder. Can/should this be reset somewhere to first look in C:\Legacy\Docs\Lehman Family Docs\ ? I do realize that when the path is corrected, I need to link each sub folder for legacy to find and automatically link each scan. Ron, you mentioned,"location paths, especially that for your document files, are correct" what is legacy correct?
