stann Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 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.

Lee Smith Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 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", "") HTH Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Smith Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 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. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Or, the no-tech method: make the container field transparent and put some text on the layout behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
