Hi all,

Perhaps I am overlooking the absolute obvious but I have problems accessing image files (jpg) from FileMaker Server 7. The files are (as per the handbook recommendations) located in

root/Library/WebServer/Documents/

These images should show in FileMaker Client using a Calculation field that reads the path to the image file where the result is the image displayed in a Container.

The databases are located in the folder

root/Library/FileMaker Server 7/data/databases/

I have tried just about any file path syntax I can think of, but the calculation field remains blank.

Perhaps this is just too obvious.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Florian

Try "image:/" in front of the path.

Thanks for the fast response.

So the syntax then would be:

image:/../../../WebServer/Documents/<myfolder>/<myfile.jpg>

?

Do the images show if the image is otherwise stored in the client's HD? If so ... I had a similar problem and had to solve it using applescript.

image:/../../../WebServer/Documents/<myfolder>/<myfile.jpg>

I am having a similar problem.

Accessing the images on the server through filemaker connection: no problem images show nicely, but not when using IWP.

changing the path to "image:///" fails

How did applescript resolve the issue?
