Thanks. 

But the essential problem I have is this: How do I get a formatted report exported from FMP6 together with the associated fields?

Exporting into iPhoto does not allow me to associate the fields so I need another workaround.

Your help is much appreciated!

Each such key should be treated as the contents of a field within your database. Thus your new database record would contain these SEPARATE FIELDS:
