And what if the point of the move is to share the photos and he gives his new path to his friend on the same network/computer so that they can both see them? Yeah, you know what happens. :-) I still maintain that the photos database should be in the root of the photos folder and that the paths should be relative to that structure. Then it's portable and sharable without path issues. It also opens the door to allowing multiple photo caches. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
