Why remove the reference? --
After having Hoster not even see the file folder where the songs were

-- I don't think I want to delete any reference to the 2 places I keep the kma files stored.
I have this now on the laptop as well (references to 2 folders - external/internal) -- and it works great -- for personal appearance gigs -- I copy the kma files to the local HD on the laptop and rebuild the database pointing towards it -- (Keeps me from toting/setting up the external for small jobs)
What didn't work -- Hoster completely failed when the external HD was removed -- I would have expected the program to allow me in to reset the path towards wherever the data was -- but it errored out before starting.
I think the database in Hoster is been built around MS Access -- I have done very little w/Access -- I'm a Dataease Person -- I learned Database programming and all the quirks w/ Dataease

-- Guess I'm learning some of the quirks of Access.
