Hi
I have a pear to pear pc1 and pc2 on a LAN at home, my photos are in a folder in pc1, I used pc2 to create a SlideShow and since pc2 C: is too small to make iso image, I copied the work folder and all its contents to pc1 where there is room.
when I start MF3.5 on my pc1 and use existing project and point to the new location, is asks
the file .. has been modified, do you want to link it to another file.
what is the best way to do this?
thanks
linking moved files

You should be able to go back to pc2 with the small harddisk and create
the iso image on pc1 with the large harddisk via the network connection.
It will just be alittle slower.
It sounds to me like you used the pictures from pc1 via the network and created the project on pc2 with linked pictures to pc1. That works but now MF is looking for the pictures on the drive you assigned and Shared them from at pc1.
If the above is correct and you can't create an iso file on pc1 from pc2 then:
On PC1 with the large harddisk.
Goto network and connect to the Shared folder/drive you connected to on pc2.
Make sure on pc1 to use the SAME drive letter you assigned on pc2 as the shared network drive letter. You can assign that drive letter manually.
This is remapping your shared folder/drive back to the same pc which can be done. The program will think you are at pc2.
This is provided you have duplicated the working folder properly.
You can also use the command prompt and issue the "subst" command instead of remapping the shared drive via the network.
The "subst" command will map a folder to a drive letter.
If you shared your complete C Drive on PC1 on the network then from a command prompt and command like
subst Z: C:\
( You must use the backslash above)
Z: will now be a mirror of C: (Don't delete anything on Z: or be sorry).
If you want to map a directory then for example to re-mirror the c:\pictures direcory
subst z: c:\pictures
The the z: will be a mirror of c:\pictures
To delete the substitution type
subst z: /D
Hope this helps,
