When you complete your rebuild and they show up again from your C:\ drive write down the "BookID" number for each song and make sure they Play from your PlayList, then with the list of BookID numbers from the files in drive C:\ go to yours books and manually cross out any duplicates that don't match the list..

Anothere thing you can do is open the old song.mdb that was giving you trouble in Access,

1. Once opened move to the right till the "Path" column is the first column on the left edge of the window.
2. Click top "Path" column tab "Arrow pointing down" and choose "A To Z" sort.
3. Scroll down till you find the first file that starts with G:\ Drive.
4. Click the first G:\ listing on the outer edge Box to highlight it, then use the "Down Arrow" in the window on the lower right to scroll down to the last G:\ listing.
5. Holding the "Shift Key" click on the outer edge Box on the last G:\ listing, they all should highlight.
6. Holding down the "Shift Key" right click and choose copy.
7. Now open Wordpad and paste and print those listings so you have exactly all the "BookID's" and know what needs to be fixed.
8. Also with all the "BookID's" on hand you may be able to alter your books a little instead.

Good Luck,
Joe....
Thank you Joe.
