2017-04-29 Thread Madeleine Mitchell

Leon, thanks for your reply.  
I have specified the C: drive but the .tmp file or .docx file is in a Family 
Tree Maker Media folder on the C:drive.   It takes about 20 mins for the for 
the relinker to search my C:drive.  I have many media files, not Legacy ones.   
I did an add media to the persons event or source detail and managed to reduce 
the number of missing media from 18 to 14, but I thought maybe there was some 
quicker way to tell the re-linker where to look.  Apparently not.
Madeleine
