I'm endeavouring to build a sales database where we use containers to store scanned PDF's of client contracts.

We are trying to apply the seperation model concept in our database with the records and calculations in different files from the layouts (primarily for security and ease of development for multiple FMP7 developers in the office).

All has been fine so far until we tried linking container fields from seprate files on to the layout in questions. The container name on the table is "greyed out" and will not work. All other fields, value lists and calculations work just fine.

Do containers not work accross multiple files ? Do they need to be embedded into the same file as the layout which they are linked to ? Say it ain't so.

Any comments on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks

It isn't so. I imagine you imported with storing as reference. You need to make these images available to all that are using the database. FMServer will not do this for you! It can be a bit tricky, you need to store the images on a computer, share that computer with everyone that needs the images, get the references to the files the same on each computer. It can be done, look carefully on this website for more information, search for older posts.
