Hi,

I created a graphics database using FileMaker Pro 6. I used the "insert picture" command for the designated image field (container). The database works great from my computer (i.e., all graphics display nicely) but when I set up preferences for web companion and run it on my browser IE 6.0 not all the graphics display in the designated image field. Any suggestions?

Hi, Jean!

I have heard some folks report similar problems... sometimes it has been filesize, sometimes it has been format (.JPG, .TIF, .GIF, .PSD, etc.) sometimes it remained a mystery. Since you are getting partial success, are there any noticible patterns you can see among the ones that would not display?

By the way, although storing images in container fields is easier to do and maintain, I hear FileMaker can get bloated and bog down as an image server unless you store the images outside of the db and only point/reference them in FileMaker. The problem is, you have to resist moving them or changing filenames or reference are broken.
