Newbie to container fields, HELP

[LedHead]

I'm trying to set up a container field that has 5 repitiions (thumbnail size) then when I click on say repition 3 it shows up in a container field next to the thumbnails, this container field being much bigger in size. The thumbnail container will be 5 different angles to products. Any help would be much appreciated.

I searched the forum for this type of problem but could not find any example like this.

What about 5 container fields, from Thumbnail1 to Thumbnail5, each holding this script:

Set Field[biggerField;thumbnailNumber]

?

I will try that, thanks very much. I was just hoping to do it with 1 or 2 container field's w/repitition for ease.

Thanks

Five fields or five buttons under the repeating container field !

What is better for you ?

BTW Try this file...it was maded for FM8, but can work (so modified) with 7. The repeating field is separated.

The best way, IMHO, would be a portal to table of Pictures. Then it's only one field and one button.

Then it's only one field and one button.

Hi comment

one repeating container field ?

[comment]

No, not a repeating field - a related field in a portal. Each product record has 5 related image records.
