SuperContainer only supports FM 8.5. I have FM 8. could anybody help me with a VB script as to how I would do this?

Heres the scenario... I want to have FM open an image file with a photoshop droplet.exe for processing. The Send Event Script seems to only allow opening of a file OR an application. I want both, open a specific file with a specific app. how do I set this up? More background... the container field with FM 8 creates only references to the file or adds the entire file. both options are extremely slow for an image archive. as referenced images take forever to load across a network. especially when I list multiple (5 or more) So I want to set up a Photoshop droplet to accept the file, resize it, copy to clipboard. and finally have FM paste into container, as a smaller +/-20kb thumbnail. Sorry if this topic is in the wrong area, I could not find a Send Event thread.

I know this topic has been covered numerous times, but none of the solutions seem to apply or even work with my problem... I have a data base for employee information. Here are the tables (simplified for view) Emp_Table: emp name (*source for value list) status Timecard: emp name Value List: status ("active" "inactive") (custom values) emp name (* from emp name field of emp_table) In the Emp_table I specify info like, name and status (active or not) In the timecard table I have a field for the emp name which is a value list from the emp names in the emp_table. In the employee table I have a value list to select the status of the employee (active or not). I want to have the emp name value list only display the active employees from the emp name table.

That will work great... Next... I want to have two tables, one for accounts and one for employees. the accounts is for making new accounts, so I want to be able to make an account then choose a name from the employee table as a value list. in the employee table I want to put a field saying which account that name is a associated with. Account Table: field 1 username field, field 2 name from employee table Employee table: field 1 employee name, field 2 cooresponding user account

Thanks for you help, an excellent suggestion. However I cannot find where you can have an account view only records for that name. the privileges area does not seem to to have that option?

I am creating a database to enter timecard information. I have a table for the timesheet and a table for user account creation (for use by my supervisor for creating new accounts w/o knowing the program) the account table creates accounts and store user/pass info. I want to have individual accounts for each employee so they can only access their timecard info. In the timesheet I have the FM 8 get the account name of user and assign it to their timecard. I can get the account name into the employee field, but I want to have FM 8 replace the user name with the cooresponding name of the employee. It would seem that I could do that with relationships, but i do not know how.
