Insert File - Dynamic Filename and path

[jscooper]

Maybe it's just something I'm not seeing .. but is there no way to specify a dynamic path to a file for the insert file script step? Maybe most people know at the time they're writing scripts what file(s) they're going to want to insert later and where they can be found, but my case this step is almost useless without that functionality -- unless the user points to a file.

Try making a text field called "filepath" and insert the path into it. Then define a field of the type calculation [result: container] and have that calculation = filepath.

See if that works.

Troi File 2.7 works with FileMaker 7 and certainly gives this ability. I think that the 'File' functions in FMP7 are greatly improved but Troi File and FileTools I think will continue to add value to FMP solutions...
