    However, if you edited your original NL data and uploaded that again, then the images would likely come from your PC - as the links would be to your local images.

    Thanks again Mel.
    I've never tried that approach either, but like you say, you'd expect the existing images to be re-used.
    This could mean big savings on data - if dealing with many hundreds (or thousands) of listings.
