Interesting bitmap problem

We have a worksheet form with a bitmap (“Bitmap Image”) embedded into the form. The user can edit the bitmap and save the form and the bitmap.

We create a summary form using lotuscript inside a button. The code gets and writes header info to the summary then loops thru the worksheets and grabs info there and adds appropriate text to a rich text field on the summary form.

We would like to be able grab the bitmap from the worksheet and insert it or copy it on to the summary form, preferably into a rich text field.

This is an axample of the code we are using to move text from the worksheet to the summary:

a = docWorkSheet.field(0)

dataStyle1.Bold = True

rti.AppendStyle dataStyle1

Call rti.AppendText(a)

How do we get a handle on the bitmap, and how do we insert it or append it into a rich text field? Or is there a better way to do this. Is it possible to insert the original bitmap into a rich text field and copy the entire field?

Any ideas? Has anyone done anything like this? Thanks in advanced.
