Rename your picture files so they don't have any "special" characters (-,.#$*/&+) or spaces, and be sure they're smaller than 100kb. I use file names like 1894S10cPR66, for an 1894-S dime in PR66.

Give us a link to your set when you're done.

Good luck.

when i open the file and it lists in the box it reads C:My Documents1971jeff .JPG. the file is listed as 1971jeff, so what do i do now?

If you're adding a picture of a coin already in your set, first click on "Edit" to the right of the coin listed.
In the "Update the coins in your set" window, click on "Browse".
Locate the file on your hard drive; highlight it, and click on "Open file".
Click on "Update Coin(s)".
When you're finished adding all of the pictures, click on the "Validate" button at the bottom of the page, and you're done.

Jim has it nailed for you Al.

Just one other thing. Make sure all of your Pictures have Different names. If you have 2 with the same name some strange things can happen when you view your set.

hello, hello

well, i figured out the problem. i had to change C:My Documents1971jeff .JPG. actually, i just had to make the JPG read jpg. i don't know why my picture program assigns it in capitals, but i'll have to make all my files read in lower case to avoid future problems. thanks for the help guys.
