This was exactly the problem. I had backed up the data from my old
computer, then installed the new software on my new computer, restoring my
old database. It still had the old (similar, but different) directory. I
have changed it, and now the photos show up perfectly.

Thanks heaping helpings,

John

John,
I'm sure you've already gotten this, but just in case not here goes.
In your options (main page) click database configuration. Go to other.
On the top is where you TYPE in the exact location of the photo file
(for example mine is in C:\CFTW\BOWMAN\PHOTO). When you go back you
should find all the photos. be sure your path is exact. Also if you
transfer data to another computer the photos don't move.
