Copying images between container fields

[Greg Hains]

Hi,

 

I am having trouble (and I know it's me, not FMP) is copying images between container fields. (I think I'm in the right forum for this request).

 

For example.  

I have a table called images. There are 10 container fields (only one record). Each of these fields contains a small image used for status display.

 

I am now in a different table. This table has a container field in it. Depending on the status of a record in there, I want to copy the image from my first table's field to the field in this second table. e.g. green LED for good, red LED for bad etc.

 

If I have a script that does copy and paste, it does not work. It just places the last clipboard text I've used on that workstation.  I have tried a Set Field making the field I'm working in the same as the record in the images table. No luck.

 

Could somebody please advise the best way to do this ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Greg

"10 container fields, one record"

 

None of the above. 

 

Move the images into a table and use a relationship to display the correct value. No scripts required.

 

There are other variations possible of course.

Thank you for this information - it makes perfect sense.
