Question about Images

[Mr & Mrs Hopkins]

Thank you.   I think that fixed my problems with the three database images.

I did have images linked, as well as different folder and database names, but I got it to work., so I am very happy!

Backed up all my databases.
Since they were all zip folders, I renamed them to zip.
Archived the old image folder, and deleted the image folder.
Extracted the image folder from the appropriate zip file and renamed it the name I was using for the database.
It preserved all my old links and cleaned up the database image directory.

I am going to have to be more careful.  Not so much with books, but on movies and audio the title search yields a lot of 
different versions as well as same named objects.
I will also need to be more careful about removing objects because of the image still remaining.

I went from 830 to 559 images (quite a few had multiple images per object) on one database because of the age of these 
databases.
It helped clear my confusion.

Once again thank you.
