My hard drive was nearly full so I attached an additional hard drive and moved all my pictures to the new hard drive. Is there a way to connect the new location to my family tree without having to go to each individual picture and change the location?

Just use GenoPro's Tools/Relink Pictures... option. Simply select the Source and Destination folders and click the Relink button. This should be all that is required if your pictures share the same root folder path, otherwise repeat for each root folder structure.
Try it and see if you get the right result. If you make mistake and it does work correctly there is always the Undo option! It's a good idea to save to a different filename just in case.

Thank yoiu for your reply. I had tried to do that but it has not worked. There is a good possibility that it has not worked because I am not very computer litterate and am not sure that I am putting the right things in the right places. I know for someone who understands computers this may seem pretty basic but not for me.
In source folder I put where they pictures were originally: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\
In destination folder I put the external hard drive where they are now: I:\MyPictures\Fam.TreePics
Does that sound right?
And I have no idea what a root folder path is so whether the are the same or not is a mystery to me.
I appreciate your help but it needs to be spelled out in simple terms for me. My expertise is emergecy medicine, if you need help with a medical problem I would be glad to help you, and I can use terms you would understand.

Sorry if the phrase 'root folder' caused confusion, since you have all pictures in one place you can ignore my comments about it. It was not intended as a technical term, purely as the root or base part of the file path/location.
Possibly your pictures are referenced in your .gno file by a relative rather than absolute path, i.e. relative to the location of your .gno file. This will the case if you have added pictures without ticking the 'Preserve Full Path' check box. I suggest you use the 'Pick' button to select your Source Folder in the Relink Pictures dialog. There should be one ending in 'My Pictures\' If it works correctly then you should see a list of picture files appear in the File Relink Log part of the Relink Pictures dialog. Note that it will say something liked 'Renamed '.\My Pictures\photo.jpg' to I:\MyPictures\Fam.TreePics\Photo.jpg' . For 'Renamed' please read 'relinked' - no files are renamed!
