If you need to move your document files to a drive that has a different drive letter or to a different folder, you can change the file paths in your Time Matters Document records all at once.

To change the file paths in Document records, you can use a Change Template. It performs much faster than the File | Utilities | Document Management utility.

It is important that the directions be followed precisely. You could make an error that changes the Document records in a way that they cannot be fixed other than manually, one at a time, or by restoring from a database backup.

There are a lot of steps, but they are mostly just clicking to select options. It makes sense to run a backup before proceeding. Main Menu | Backup Time Matters Data | Check the first 2 boxes | OK.

To change document paths:

Backup your Time Matters database as a precaution
Go to Time Matters Main Menu | Database
Choose: Documents
Go to Time Matters Main Menu | Search
Select Advanced Search
Select: FileName
Select: Starts With
Fill in the old file path you want to change, for example, M:\Docs\
Press OK
Right-click anywhere on the list and choose: Tag Record | Tag All Records
In the Time Matters Main Men, click: Process
Click: Change Records | Create New Template | Change Contents of a Field
In this example, the & replaces M:\Docs\. Time Matters can use the & (ampersand) as an alias for the Shared Files Directory. If you are not using the & alias, you could type a different path, such as G:\Docs\, in place of the & above.
Press Next, Next, Next. Uncheck: Backup Data Files.
Click Finish.
Your filtered Document list should now be empty because you have changed all the file paths.
