I have several hundred photos that were placed in a container field in a FMP database. How do I find out the name of the photos that are in each container? There does not seem to be any way to get the file name.

"There does not seem to be any way to get the file name."

I believe you are on to something and you are right.

On the other hand, since the image is in a container field, why would you need a name? The ability to find the right record would seem to be what is important.

Just incidentally, generally speaking pictures eat a lot of memory

Yes, I agree.

You can store a reference to the image and keep them stored in another folder. Then you have the file name, too (just not in FM, unless you use the Troi File plug-in)

However none of this info is very helpful because you already have them in containers.

If you are really going to be using images to any extent, there are a lot of advantages to having Troi File.
