FMP would not allow me to insert an image into a container field.

I do believe I had tried to use strictly AS techniques, e.g., set  
cell "myImage" to thisImage. Even copying 'thisImage' to the  
clipboard and pasting into the field didn't work. I wound up using  
the system described to Bob R.

That is as I recall this messy affair; it being about a year ago. I  
also recall that I needed to use the repetitions of a container field  
for this project.

Which version of FMP did you find you could insert images into  
fields? I stopped investing in FMP with v6.
