Re: [LegacyUG] Updating images
It's a great thought, but unfortunately my database wouldn't open automatically under those conditions either. First thing on the agenda when I pull out the laptop is to hook up the modem to the correct port, plug the portable hard drive in (always in the same USB drive - habit) and then power on. But these responses are giving me a great checklist. Thanks for taking the time to jump in.

[LegacyUG] Updating images
Good afternoon, all, Here's a question I haven't been able to find addressed in the archives, so I throw it out there for your ideas. I know they won't print worth a darn, but I am attaching digital images much of my back-up proof to my events as I can. Some of these images have been attached for some time. They are Quebecois parish records and can have anywhere from 8 to 30+ records on an image. To make it easier for my family, with whom I am sharing this data (and who don't read French), to find the correct record, I have been going through each image, "highlighting" the record in Paint.net and re-saving the image (I also have saved a clean copy of the image - it's the purist in me). Now in some cases, the link is automatically udating to the updated images (about 25% of the time). The rest of the time I'm having to remove the original image and reattach the altered one. What am I doing differently the other 25% of the time? Any ideas? Is there a way to up this percentage and thus save me much time and energy? I have been through 750 records thus far, and I have about 4500 to go. Thanks for all the advice and help.
