How to obtain external file name

Featured Replies

Hi,

I want to store the names of external files (not the files itself) that contain pictures in FileMaker field.

I want to let the user browse for the file and select it.

Is there a way from inside FileMaker's script to show "Open File dialog", then obtain the result of that dialog (the selected file name) and then store it in the filemaker field?

I'm using FileMaker 6.

This is not difficult when using MS Access, but I cannot figure it out in Filemaker?

Thank you for the help!
