Re: [LegacyUG] Linking files in Picture Gallery
Hi Dede, They are JPEG files and doing what you suggested retrieved all my lost files, thanks for that useful hint.

And when you add them, are you adding them as Pictures or Files? And, are they saved as jpg or tiff or some other picture file, OR are they saved as pdf or doc files? I've just recently had to redo several links, because they were pdf files that I accidentally added as pictures, rather than files. You might want to run this report - Options, Customize, Locations, Test All Multimedia paths. This will give you a report of any missing links. You can then check each file individually to determine why you are not able to see them. Hope this helps.

[LegacyUG] Linking files in Picture Gallery
Hi, I have created many links to census pages in the picture gallery using 'files'. When clicking on these links, it displays the information in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, so far, so good. What I then did was to run msconfig to find out why my computer was taking so long to boot up. I disabled all the startup items that I thought was unnecessary for what I needed. Then going back into Legacy, I found the link to my census pages were disabled, so I re-enabled all the start-up items. I still cannot view the census pages!!
