BK 7.3.4 - registered I got a new computer and when it was set up they changed my user name. ((I thought the old one was there but either it's disappeared or it wasn't there) I have all my text/pic/media files in Dropbox using users L and now user is F, when I try the "Fix Text/Picture Path" naturally BK is not finding it. Is there a way to do it the "old" way where we typed in the old & new paths? Fran L

THANK YOU, JOHN!! I didn't mean to imply that you were lax in replying and later realized you were busy getting 7.4 ready for distribution. I thought someone else might have the answer but in my panic had forgotten where the 'old way' was. Worked wonderfully as usual. I wouldn't trade BK or this list for a million dollars!
