Jack: In reply to the first question, if you mean that you now have
two databases, one in BK5 and one in BK6, the only problem will be in
entering any new data in both databases all the time. If you mean
that you have combined them such that you have the same person in your
one database twice, you will have trouble. If you post a new piece of
info to John Smith, which one to post it to? If you link the John
Smith (BK5) to Mary Smith, his wife (BK6) you will have created a
monster because you are cross linking families.
For the second question, BK allows you to place the pictures and text
files anywhere you like. Go to File, Options and set the paths for
these files. It is just where BK will place pictures and text files
you add to the program. I keep mine in the Pictures and Text
directories so I can easily move/backup the entire BK database. If
you change, you will need to change the path on every picture and text
file so BK can find them.
