Confused...Can you put more than 1 file in a field

[Kelley]

Sorry, I am a newbie at this whole filemaker thing. I am trying to use a container field to put multiple pictures or word documents in each record. After reading some of the postings, I still can't figure out if it can be done. There is one that says you cannot put multiple pics in one container, but then there are others that seem like you can. I've tried putting a whole folder in a container field, but it literally puts the picture of the folder in, not the contents. Can a container field only hold one file at a time?
