================================The program would not allow the entry of a keyword in the
*.psd or *.png formats, even though a box for entry
appeared on screen. The program allowed the entry of a
keyword for a *.tif file, but would not save it, claiming
the file was in use by another application or was read-
only (neither was true). Only the *.jpg and *.raf files
could accept and save keywords. Of those two, only the
*.jpg file was retrieved using the search, using first
the "files and folders" option, then again using
the "photos" option.
Is there an archiving application that would work
seamlessly with Windows XP? I have tried Adobe's
Photoshop Album 2.0. Many of its functions are redundant
with Photoshop editing programs, and its organising
capabilities are seriously limited. To maintain free
space on the hard drive, all I really need is something
with archiving capabilities, something that allows the
use of keyword and categories for retrieval of files.
Have I missed something that Microsoft produces?

Most folks have .jpg files, you did not specify
in your original message. I just tried a search
on several formats and was able to retrieve
results on...jpg, .mix, .tga, and .pcx.

True, you may find some documents but
then again it's merely a search, not an
image archiving program.
If you wish to archive your images on CDs
you might like Microsoft Digital Image
Suite 9. It includes a separate program
that links to Digital Image Pro 9 called
Digital Image Library 9.
Microsoft offers a 30 day return guarantee
so you may want to give the program a try.
