Dennis has identified your problem:
If you have a picture (JPG, TIF, PNG, etc...) use the picture icon to

There is a database. There are records for Individuals (actually rows in

Paul,
Notwithstanding what works in your current set up, it does not necessarily mean
that it will work for others.
The Legacy advice is that Photos, images, pictures anything with image
extentions, jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff gif, png, bmp etc. should go in the Pictures
folder, sounds go in

Why do you think you have version 6 installed? If you have, yes it could well
