>From the Help file for Picture Center: ***** The Picture List tab:
Caption, Date, Description, File ID # You can enter caption, date and description information before assigning a picture to an individual. There is also a field for a File ID # if you are assigning these numbers to your pictures. These entries are remembered by Legacy for future use even if the picture has not been assigned to anyone yet. The Attached tab: Caption, Date, Description, File ID # You can view and edit the caption, date, description and file ID number entries for the current picture. ***** The data entered on the Picture List tab is stored in a .PicList.DBM file that's in the same folder as the pictures. The data entered on the Attached Pics tab and in Picture Gallery are stored in the main Family File. Morris, you will have to copy/paste to put the data in the fields on the Picture List tab.
