It wasn't that you had renamed or moved something externally (in the finder)?
No, the folder structure was exactly the same as had worked fine previously. I had imported a couple of recent image folders in the previous week and accessed and exported some of the images.

If you had previously added the parent folder then you would be able to right click on it under 'folders' and relocate it and all of it's children in one step - I can't remember the specific command from the contextual menu
I selected the top folder 'Pictures' then selected a JPEG. While it did 'find' other missing images they didn't seem to be all of the images from the same folder as the selected one but a random selection although I could be wrong on that because I had the entire collection displayed and not in folder order. I did check back to the folder but I was a bit tired by that stage.

It should work if the parent folder has been renamed or relocated, provided the folder structure inside hasn't changed
I didn't try ctrl + click (I don't do left click) on a selected image. I simply followed Rich's method above.
This is the first time I have lost the connection with an entire catalogue. I have lost contact with the occasional image file if I moved it or renamed the folder in the finder but have always been able to return it to the catalogue.
It's working OK at the moment. I will keep an eye on it, I haven't deleted the faulty catalogue so I may try your method later Doug.
