Thanks. I saw that you did things a little differently that what I have
done. I will try a few changes tonight or tomorrow and see if my pictures
finally come back, (they don't show up anymore since I installed PHP5) Not a
big deal as I am testing to learn but I'd like to understand why before to
go on and learn more.
The last couple of day I tried to alias the folders and it worked on one
computer but not the other. I guess I made a mistake somewhere, so I have
some more testing to do.

Thank you

Meg
