[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1009920, member: 27204"] Are they networked? i.e. are you trying to use a central database or are you copying the db to your second PC? I can't think of anything specifically built into MyFilms that you can use to do that because it reads the Source field you select (usually Source) and it contains the drive/full path to your movie file(s). TBH I would change the drive letter - it's probably easier in the end as long as it doesn't screw up other things on your PC. Now I am getting confused LOL. Maybe best if you just post the paths? MyFilms does not override the source field data. The location of your movies is usually specified in the database. But I am not clear WHERE you are storing your movies, or if you mean your DVDs/Blu-rays. Sounds like similar issue to the above! There aren't really 2 paths for covers but ofc it depends if you are using the same DB and Config for both PCs or not. Basically you need to decide your preferred setup: [LIST=1] [*]Central storage of movie files on 1 pc but accessed from both PCs (sounds to me like this is what you are trying to do?) [*]Central db and artwork - i.e. network setup where your PCs are networked - in which case you need to use network paths (see Network Setup in wiki, and also Guzzi's explanations in the Central DB thread. [*]Total separate PCs [/LIST] So let's start with that! [/QUOTE]
