If all you are changing is the string that is the new computers name, you might be able to do a "search everywhere and replace."  Type Ctrl-H or use the menu commands Search > Search and Replace.

For example, if the path to your media files on your old computer was C:\users\computer-old\documents, you might be able to replace this everywhere with C:\users\computer-new\documents.  Of course, replace these example phrases with the actual path to your media files.

I recommend you experiment/ practice on a copy of your database until you're sure you've got it right.

Thanks, Vyger.  Yes, I'm involved in the community preview and did some beta testing in December.  I looked at Family Historian v6 and for me it was not better than RM7.  I wrote the perfect piece of genealogy software back in the 1980's (GeneLink, and you've never heard of it!) but decided I'd rather do genealogy than write code.

I appreciate your response and the many, many ways you've supported this forum.

Marriage fact recorded/attached to Florence May Lawther as this was her maiden name, and then under Alt Name Florence May Bainbridge

 
 

 

 

 

 

AndrewElves, I do much the same.  Many, many records list only the married female name, and I want to make it easy for me to search my list of people.  So, I record the birth name as primary and the married name as alternate.

While this is a kludge, try setting your system text size to the next smaller.  Settings > System > Display > Scale and layout.  I had the issue at 125% text size, but not at 100%.
