Hi,

Please tell me if i'm wrong!

I have a database (duh) and in that database there is a global field with a graphic thats

I don't think so....

In global fields, data is only stored once.

Nope. Global fields only occur once per file, not once per record. If you store a graphic in a container field you can store the actual graphic as just a reference to a graphic stored elsewhere. By storing a reference, the FM file only grows a few bytes per image. If the database is shared, you must also have a shared volume for the images which is mounted and accessable by all the users of the database.
