Hi,

I am sytuggling to instert a picture in FM database. As a part of the database I am developing, I want user to choose picture file and it should reside in FM Database.

Any help...

Thanks in advance

Aditya

You need to place the picture in a container field. Once you've created the container field, you use the Insert-Picture menu in Filemaker or you can create a script to do the same with:

Go To [Your Container Field]

Insert Picture

You have the option of pre-selecting the file or (in your case) the user selects the picture.

Are you sure that you want the picture actually stored in your database and instead of referencing to the location of the picture? Since FileMaker has a file size limitation of 2GB, if you insert a lot of pictures the file size will quickly grow.

HTH, Mike

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, actually I do not see that my database will cross 2GB limit, however I am interested to know how can I use reference instead of inserting the database. Just to let you know that I would be using FM Pro server and my users will be accessing the system from different locations.

Thanks

Aditya
