Importing to Photo - I already imported several photos from my camera SD card, so why when I click on them it says missing file? Surely it keeps a copy of the file in the library?

You are not copying photos into the library. That means photos expects to find the file where it was when you imported it. (A so called referenced library)
If you have disconnected the device that it was on or otherwise moved or deleted the file, photos no longer has access to that file.
So yes - check the box.

What exactly is the error message that you get?
Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
I guess this checkbox needs to be ticked?
It certainly does.
