Here is how the Help tell me of Moving Photos (BUT IT DOESN"T DO THAT!!)

I do exactly what it says but it doesn't copy the file to another event. I can however copy them anywhere else. It is **** of a work to copy them to the desctop and back to the event I want to have them be in...Do any1 have any Idea why it doesnt copy??
Select Events in the Source list.
Command-click to select two or more Events.
Double-click one of the chosen Events to open them.
If you have set your preferences to use the Event double-click to magnify photos, move your mouse to the bottom of the Event’s key photo and click the “Show photos” button when it appears.
Drag the photos you want to move into the Event you want to add them to.
To select multiple photos that are not next to one another, hold the Command key down as you click.
The moved photos will appear at the end of the Event.
You can also use cut and paste to move one or more photos from one Event to another.
To do so, select one or more photos you want to move and then choose Edit > Cut (or press Command X). Then select the Event you want to move the photos to, and choose Edit > Paste (or press Command V). The photos are removed from one Event and appear in the other.

It works for me. When you double click on one of the two selected Events (in the Events mode) do you get a window with the two events displayed like rolls were in iPhoto 6? I selected a photo from one of those events and dragged it (a green circle with the number of photos being dragged was created next to the cursor) into the other event. Worked as advertised like this.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
