OK thanks for your help, but honestly I just do not understand why if VSD has already made a file with all my images in it, that it it still needs to find them in My Pictures, which i guess means I have to leave all the pictures opened in My Pictures. This seems totally stupid, and not vey well planned.

I don't know either but you notice that VSD also names some images IMG_whatever as well which has got me stumped too. I just know what I had to go through to get it done and replaced. Personally I wouldn't bother making or saving it other then on the server for just this reason, but I do hold on to the images in my flash drive. sorry for the problems your having Poolman, it can only get better right!
And it's still the fricken best WYSIWYG program around!

Well at least it's up www.hydrobluepools.com . I just envision a huge cluster ++++ when I have to reload on a new computer. I will not be looking forward to it and imagine it will be a total pain. Thanks for the help though, I always appreciate it.

So if are you saying that once the site is uploaded to the server, I should be able to somhow get everything I need from it?

Yes you can just download everything from the server (including the vnu if it's there or else it's useless) to a folder. then when need be, just take the vnu out of the folder you DL'd it to and open it in VSD, you'll get the window asking to find what your missing and then just point it to that folder (what it asks for) then your site is back, then save it with whatever you want to save as. and it will default again to my docs. but remember to place the folder you download to in a place where you won't move anything or you'll be doing it all over again. wow! so if pete and repete were on a bridge and pete fell off, who'd be left? lol

Notice how I start my posts with "I'm an idiot". Some aspects of these cod sarned computers just get my boxers in a bunch. Probably why I do pools and not computers for a living. Thanks for your Job like patience.
