You assumed correctly in that these are anchored pictures. I have discovered as you have pointed out that the reference returned by Add picture is destroyed when the record is unloaded. I think you have confirmed for me that there is no way currently to use picture place holders in a 4D Write Pro template as I did in 4D Write. I will give this a bit more thought, but I am about to give up on this part of my attempt to upgrade my client to v16. Since it is way to early to deploy v17, I will have to tell them they will have to wait until we upgrade to v17 to move any of their photo templates to Pro or create any new ones. Of course this prevents me from moving them to 64 bit until then as well. BTW, another thing I cannot find is any way to provide a means for end users to insert 4D expressions as they can in 4D Write. I could write a dialog for this, but it already exists in 4D so why not provide the same functionality out of the box?
