    3. Thank you Mike. Both suggestions solved my immediate problem on my main FH Project. However your Plugin "Check and Repair Media Links" showed that I have a similar problem with broken links in most of my other FH Projects. I think this problem has been self inflicted, when, in a recent fit of enthusiasm, I decided to 'reorganize' the media files in my Pictures folder on the C drive of my Win 7 computer. Although this resulted in a neater and more logical structure of my media files, I see now that it broke the links between them and the Multimedia files in FH. Should I now abandon any further 're-organization' of my Win 7 Pictures folder?
