Well the good news is I run Nero auto backup and was able to restore a nero disc image so I only lost a few hours work. I installed the auto back up months ago and didn't give it another thought until now.
The downside is I can no longer access the tables as they were to check for problems but I'm very pleased to have my links back. :) -----Original Message----- From: Ron Ferguson [mailto:ronfergy....@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Monday, 30 July 2012 8:32 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] HELP Restoring backup Ian, I am back on my PC now, so am able to check out the problem. After my initial comment I thought that there must be a bug, as the picture file name and the path are contained in two separate files: tblBR contains the name of the picture and tblBP the path. From your description is seems that both tables have have the picture records removed - can you confirm this? As you say, I do not now think this is a bug as the bar clearly states that clicking will remove the record. However, it does bring a thought to mind. I doubt if there will be many, if any, times when someone wishes to remove all the record, but I can envisage circumstances whereby one just wishes to remove the paths. Perhaps the button could enforce a choice, at least it would minimise accidental deletion of the lot! I cannot think of a way round your problem, other than on my PC (HP WIN7 64bit) it routinely creates a backup of all the HD without prompting, I don't suppose that you have overlooked this possibility - if it exists on your PC.

All else has been very poor with Windows ME being referred to as windows virus edition. Bring back xp and all the necessary drivers for newer pc's. :) -----Original Message----- From: Shack [mailto:sh...@ws4v.net] Sent: Monday, 30 July 2012 9:18 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] HELP Restoring backup Sound like "thanks again Windows 7" which gives the operator absolutely no credit for having any common sense. I have Win 7-64 bit on my laptop and hate it. Every time I try to store a file, photo or anything else it wants to show me where to put it. With all the libraries, etc., that they have put in you never know where anything is on the hard drive. This is a giant step backwards from "My Computer" on previous versions. Microsoft very seldom listens to its users so I don't expect an improvement, this coming from a Windows user since Windows first started. Remember that was the version that didn't work at all.

My dau's been home from college since May and I've done virtually no research since then because of regular interruptions. My son's now graduated and is about to move into assisted living accommodation. Two teens + 14 animals under one roof = aaaarrrrggghhhh!!!!! and a bad attack of the screaming habdabs! Roll on September and what passes for normality in my house <G> > Although impossible, it's as though that delete links button is jammed > on. Just a thought in a temporary lull in the chaos: is the "unlink/ delete" still checked to do that? Is there anywhere in the settings where there is that option? I have found that for some reason best known to its innards, my laptop sometimes decides /it/ knows best about what I need and ignores what I tell it it's supposed to do. It's as though the setting/button is, as you say, jammed on. Clipping two keys can have unexpected results too - as an IT guy, I guess you know that anyway.
