    3. Pamela, With Projects you can link to Multimedia in two ways. (1) Relative Links Multimedia stored in the Project 'Media' folder can be linked via relative links such as Media\Charlotte 2nd Birthday. If the whole Project is moved or copied from one folder, drive, or PC to another, then these links remain correct. (2) Absolute Links Multimedia stored anywhere else can be linked via their full path from drive letter through the folder hierarchy to the media file. These absolute links become broken if the Project is moved or copied to an external drive or another PC, unless the full path to the media file remains exactly the same, which is unlikely or impossible. It is advised that all links should be Relative Links. Assuming your example path is correct, you should NOT be storing media files, or anything else, in the C:\Program Files... folder hierarchy. Move such media files into your Project Media folder and use Tools > Work with External File Links to Re-map within Project Data Folder.

When I look at this picture it gives the File as Media\Charlotte 2nd Birthday. When I look at the other multimedia I have the File is C\Program File|Family Historian|Multimedia\Dads folder. Is there something wrong?  should I move the other multimedia, and if so how?
