Empty container field Message?

Hi

Can a container field that doesn't hold an image be made to say "no image posted"/

How can this be done. I am copying pictures from one file to another because I haven't figured out if filemaker can lookup a pic from another file. In any event I would be satisfied if I could get it to say no picture present when I get an error " no records match this request" . If that is possible. Not sure.

Hi Stann,

Not with the container field, but you could use a second field and place it on top of it and then use a calculation such as:

If(IsEmpty(Container), "no image posted", "")

Thanks Lee

Good Solution

Hi Stan

You are welcome.

I should have also mentioned, that this now gives you a way to find those records that do not have a graphic in the container field.

Or, the no-tech method: make the container field transparent and put some text on the layout behind it.
