[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 321937, member: 56502"] Purge Orphan records - checks to see if any entries in your database refer to files that no longer exist. If so, they are removed from the database. This will only apply if the location of the 'missing' file is the same location being scanned. So, a database entry for 'c:\movies\blah.avi' will be removed if you scan c:\movies\ and the file is not found. However, if you scan c:\movies and there is a database entry referring to d:\movies\film.avi then it will not be removed - because the program only checks the location it is scanning. I don't think that's the reason for your problem though - it sounds like you have 'Store files with name only (discard path data)' enabled on the Options tab. With that option enabled, your files will be referenced in the Source field as you describe - just the filename. If you do this then you must ensure MyFilms is configured to search for films by name, and that you have given it the location of your movie collection. Then it will find them automatically. Hope that helps! Orion. [/QUOTE]
