Brian, What program are you using to read/send your emails? I have reserved my General Notes for short "stories" really these are just notes and jottings though. I am not convinced at all that Legacy is suitable for this purpose. If I wish to insert a biography, or similar, then I would do it in

So, if I start storing my pictures/documents that I attach to my Legacy file in one folder (your example of c:\Legacy\Pictures) that will give me the optimum ease of backup/restore capability. I don't have a whole lot of pics already stored in Legacy so I suppose I could go back through and redo th

Kathy, Basically what you say is correct, but it does depend on how you are storing the pictures. As you realise, Legacy's working files only store the paths and not the images, whereas the multimedia backup stores the lot. Thus it is important that the paths to the pics are *exactly* the same on

Thanks, I figured that was the case; i.e., that you would have to restore back to the original folders; however, I would probably not have those same folders if my computer crashed or if I wanted to restore to my laptop. I guess I need to be very strict with my organization for that to work. Mayb
