Hi Folks, I am using PAF 5.2.18.0 and am just starting to add multimedia to my records. I have created a separate folder just for multimedia with subfolders for each main family name group and a folder for other names or documents. My problem (or wish) is to add multimedia to marriages. PAF 5 does not allow this. Has there been a fix or update to correct this? It seems to be a reasonable request, is there a technical reason for not providing this feature? Has anyone found or developed a work around for this? Thanks for any replies, Bud L

Hi Bud, You are correct that PAF5 does not provide for multimedia file links to marriages. Thinking about the amount of extra programming it would take to handle links to marriages and provide the same features makes me believe that it was something that was too expensive for the benefit. They would have had to redesign the Individual screen to display photos, and they would have had to redesign the marriage record in the database. It probably was a feature that was dropped off the list when they set the priorities. I just put my marriage related multimedia into one of the spouses and identify that they are marriage related items in the description. Richard Rands
