Robbie,

The problem with that is that it requires the clipboard so it flashes back
and forth between FileMaker and the Finder. Yes I know... The subject of the
discussion was copy the icon to the clipboard. But I didn't realize that you
could not use the clipboard in the background. Bummer.

No, but why do you have to use the Finder? Just tell FileMaker to set the clipboard to the icon picture. I'm not sure about OS 9, but in OS X, "set the clipboard to" is part of the Standard Additions and I don't think it is limited to the Finder. Once you have the clipboard set in FM, you can set your field to the clipboard. This is all theoretical, since I don't have FM to test it with.

HTH, -Reinhold
