[FP5] Loading JPEGs into my container fields?

[kennedy]

1) How do you put a JPEG into a container? Right click on container... insert picture... go to desktop where a picture lays... the JPEGs are all grayed out and not selectable... even if I allow all files or JPEGs!! What's the trick? I couldn't figure out this simple thing from the Help nor from this forum... I'm feeling pretty stupid right now.

2) I am building a small (200 record max) database of people... I want to take quick headshots of each person who shows up for the event and drop it in the database... and the database will be tossed at the end of the event. So, no issue on size of the file NOR with the photos getting moved. The issue is simply to make it as easy as possible to do this, without needing an expensive plug-in. Easy stuff is the goal.

Suggestions??
