1128537 2010-08-16 23:00:00 I use two Vista computers, one Acer and one DELL.

Sometimes I place into a folder (e.g. AncestorPictures) a file which I want an app to link into its database.

But - the app's Browse or Add function cannot see the new file! It does not list in its listbox. Yet it IS there and it does list when I use Windows Explorer at the OS level.

I have seen this with two apps from different software houses.

Reason? Cure? Workaround?

1128539 2010-08-16 23:08:00 also, try refreshing the listbox - click in an empty space in the listbox, then press F5 on the keyboard. See if that works jareemon (5207)

1128541 2010-08-17 23:34:00 Yey! Thanks guys . Great answers .

I had been STUPID .

In the DELL notebook I had two folders with the data files in both . (?) One under C:\ and one under \Documents .

I moved the new . jpg into the folder under \Documents but the app was expecting to find its data in the folder under C:\ !

Oh dear .

Thanks again . This will explain why the same problem occurs on the other computer running a different app . :)
