These pictures are not on the web. These pictures are my digital pictures
that I keep on my machine, and I keep high quality files that would be
suitable for printing. I just happen to like the web page format for saving
my pictures rather than a flat file format. The “Who, What, When, Where” of
each photograph is also stored in an Access dB and clicking on the dB
description creates a hyperlink that finds the actual photograph on the web
page. In addition, I have an Access dB going back to 1983 by day and 1945 by
month that is cross referenced to over 500 rolls of film with another 1,000+
to be added. I do know something about image quality.
I still don’t know why FP2002 opens a page with thirty 3K thumbnails for
editing instantly, and FP2003 fails.

Yes, seriously - you can easily optimize many of your huge images way way
down and never notice a difference on the web. There's absolutely no reason
to use image files of the size you have there...over 300K. Period.
And you ducked my question; why are you storing unused unoptimized images
within FP?
