Finally! I figured out what was happening to the photos that would not load for "Pictures of the Past" - they were too large - I reduced the size of some and it worked! Please check it out and tell me if you find one I missed - sorry for the delay - it's been most irritating trying to figure this out. I finally got it when I was trying to load Portia Hamrick's will - YEAH. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvwebste/pictures.htm bj
