I have a small database called RECIPES. On each record is a container field called IMAGE where I upload a small image of the created recipe. I would like to show a larger image of the one in this field. I downloaded a file called popoveContainerDEMO (attached) to show me how to do it. I installed a popover button on the RECIPES database and named it "Enlarge Image" as seen on the attached RECIPES database. HOWEVER, when I click on the Enlarge Image button to display the popover and then try to drag an image to the popover, the image does not load. It works for the demo file I downloaded  - but not on my database. Can someone please help me with this.

 I am not sure what you mean by "drag an image to the popover". You need to drag the IMAGE field from the Fields pane. Or click the Field tool, select the IMAGE field, then drag the created field object into the popover. Or copy the existing IMAGE field and paste it into the popover.

 

Hi Frank, if I understand correctly, you need to put the Image field ON the popover.  Also set on the data tab at the bottom (data formatting) to enlarge the image.  I've attached what I think you want.

This is what step I followed to accomplish it.  I copied the Image from the layout and pasted it onto the popover and then changed its attribute in the Data tab.

Hm. Possibly Frank did not realize you need to double-click the popover button in Layout mode in order to reveal the popover area?

I suspect you are right, Michael!  

Thank you comment and LaRetta! I went back to the demo and after playing around in the popover area, realised that I needed to insert my image field in the popover! Again, thank you both!
