Placing an image

[jennyphur79]

How do I create a box that when selected, will allow me to navigate to an image on my harddrive, and then display said image reduced to fit into this box. This all has to be done while in browse mode. Can somebody please let me know if this is possible. Thanks

Hi Jenny,

When you control+click on a container field you get a contextual menu with an 'Insert Picture...' command.

Suppose it's right click on a PC.

Edit: If you format the container field as button, then you can also put the 'Insert Picture...' command in the button definition. Even nicer.

More Edit: actually that does not work... I'm obviously trying to be to smart and being punished by the Filemaker God.

What does work is attachin a script to the button. The script should do:

- got field [select, MyContainer]

- insert picture

Do not specify a file on the 'insert picture' script step.

Regards,

Ernst.
