Morning,Linking files is an ok idea, but if your main hard drive dies or you
move files, the link becomes invalid. That said, here is what to do - this also
works for cloud accounts such as dropbox. If, for instance, I want to link a
pdf with a list of folks in Nebraska that are part of my family, here is what
to do.1. Locate the file using Win Explorer2. It is on my external Drive G in a
folder.3. Right click on the file and copy the nameAncS-AirAllegPA.pdfThen
Right click and copy the path:G:\Ship-Air1914-62/ Combine the
two:G:\Ship-Air1914-62/AncS-AirAllegPA.pdfCopy the link to your Person in the
Notes Section of Legacy If the file is in your DropBox.Open Win
ExplC:\Users\MarthaAG\DropboxC:\Users\MarthaAG\Dropbox\Legacy If you have a
separate folder for Documents in your DB Legacy folder, the path is as above.
If the file is online, access the file and copy the link, inserting it into
your notes.But, be careful, the fluid nature of the web tells us that stuff can
go away. And if you have files on RootsWeb, be careful. They lost tons of data
with the recent hardware failure. MarthaIn Los Osos, CA
