Yes. You simply set the value of a container field.
set cell "image" of record x to file (picturePATH)
The above example is using a file reference, but I'm pretty sure you
could do something like this,
set cell "image" of record x to (pictureDATA)
In the above example I would embed the data from a file into a container
field in FMP. I prefer to use file references since it keeps the size of
the database down. FileMaker has a database size limit of two gigs.
The advantage of embedding a file is that you can move the database to
another drive and not have to worry about breaking the links. I think
people generally use linking for lots of large images and embedding for
a few small images.
