If you are using your genie program to generate your web pages, then anything in your notes in your genie program will be included on the web page. No need to reinsert the links each time :) >So what I need is a way to move my current database including media files >to some software package that builds good web pages. > >I would even consider using some other database software if I could get my >existing work imported to it intact. I am not aware of any genealogy database program that will import the internal media links from another program. There are a few that do limited imports e.g. RootsMagic will import directly the database files created by FTM (2006 version or earlier), Legacy and PAF, as well as GEDCOM files. But I *think* writing a program that will import media links from every version of every program would be not only difficult, but impractical. It would need to include the variables for hundreds of programs and the resulting size of the importing program would be huge (terabytes?) Seems to me that only a super computer could install and run it <g> One of the programmers on the list please correct me if my thinking is off base. Pat Asher
