Thanks for the replies! Setting the cell to the filepath as string didn't work for me in FMP6. I still would rather do this in AS, but if I can do it with a mix of AS and the built-in scripting language in FMP, I'm okay with that. I'll try it. Meanwhile, if anybody knows the syntax for inserting a picture file into a container field, I'd appreciate the help. WES
