May 9, 200124 yr Newbies Hi I have a document database that I want to be able to by pressing a button locate a document by browsing and when I select it the document link is then saved to the record. Then from that point I can then simply click on a button to open the file. I have previously manually added the document location, but would like to know if there is a way I can select it within FileMaker and then have its link then recorded. I am using FMP 4.1 (PC) Thanks Greg null
May 9, 200124 yr I have done a similar thing using the Windows Scripting host and FMPro database. I read the file name to a text file then import the file name into an associated field. Then I create a calculation field which turns it into a URL for FTP file transfers. This works well for us as we use PDF documents for archiving technical specs. Hope this might help
