Great instructions, Jenny. I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for the quick
response. Curious why I need to rename the file, because it cannot find the
file as it is now. But, that is probably because of the path vs. the name?
Anyway, I will understand more tomorrow anyway.Love your families,Bob

The relinker can find the picture, but that is not my > problem. I want to

the person who has media attached for file named "JONES > Ralph, GA,
19271213.jpg" It could have been attached to a person, to an > event, or to a
source.I can think of one way, but I don't know if there is another - better -
one.1 Use File Explorer to locate the picture. DO NOT rename the file from
within Legacy!2 Rename the file in some easily-remembered way. Eg. delete the
J from JONES.3 In Legacy, click Media Relinker. Legacy will report there are
n files missing and ask if you want to view the list in your text editor.
Click Yes.4 Your text editor will show the person and place where the file is
missing. Eg.in my system it said "Medai File: Death: Source Detail: Anne
ASTLES - 1554] and then the location and name of the original file5 Repeat the
above for each file that is showing up as an error.6 Use File Explorer to
locate and rename the files, eg by putting the missing J back in Jones.-- Jenny
