Patience please ladies and gents. 1. When I import a jpeg image into a container field (as a reference only) there appears to be a limit on the image size apr 2megs; much larger and jpeg error #53 is returned. Is this correct? If so how do you reference and therefore display larger images? 2. Anybody fancy giving me a laymans/idiots guide as to how I would open the images, as per 1 above, in photoshop or similiar. I am using macs. When I say idiots guide I really do mean idiot. Thanks in advance for your help Regards Lawrence/Anne

Frequently while trying to import jpeg files we get the error message "unable to import jpeg XXX, error type 62". We always (try) to check "store reference" to keep the FileMaker file size down, and it sometimes happens on very small jpegs, maybe as small as 40k. This leads one to suspect that the memory partition on the client machine may not be enough. But no, this morning one Mac with 25Mb given to FM4 was unable to import a small jpeg, while another with only 8Mb given to FM4 managed to do so in the same file. For the record the serving machine is a fairly high spec Pentium with 128Mb RAM. Anyone know what jpeg error 62 is? Anyone know where I can get a list of the other jpeg errors? tia Michael Michael, We are having the same problem with jpegs. Except we get a jpeg #53 error. This seems to happen when the images we reference are >2megs. I would be interested to hear any answers which you receive. Esp a list of jpeg errors and what they mean. If I find any info I'll let you know.

Filemaker was loaded from an original CD, so I doubt this is the problem. Any other suggestions? Thanks

When importing JPEG pictures into a container field in File maker, there is an error saying "JPEG Error #53" Can anyone help with this? The error is shown with larg meg size pic is being imported. However the manual states any size can be imported. Any help would be good.

I represent a photographic agency. We have about 100,000+ images, jpegs (200-500K) which we need to put on a database. 1. Is Filemaker pro suitable? I imagine each image would have 4/5 fields associated with it, i.e. Name,Location, Description, Category etc. Would we be able to search through the images using these fields? 2. When we search for an image, i.e. dog, can all results be previewed as thumbs on a page. i.e page 1 of 5 , 10 images/thumbs per page? Clicking a thumb takes you to the actual image file? Any and all help appreciated Thanx in advance. ------------------
