Need some help here please.

Running server 7 advanced and am unable to display graphics that are stored in the db in container fields on the web. If I access the db thru a fmp7 client it works fine but on the web it does not..

Should I use a reference to the images instead of storing them within the database? I recall reading that I need to store the images in a specific place for display on the web but that location escapes me.

Please Help

I've been able to view graphics stored in container fields using IWP. The problem I've run into is the it only appears to work if you're viewing a layout (or portal) that directly ties to the base table where the graphic is stored. Viewing a related field on another layout only works in FMP but not IWP. Must be a bug...

Images in container fields (stored in the DB, not just references) will only show if they're on a layout that is directly related to the table where the image is stored. (This behavior only applies to IWP, as it works fine with a FMP client).

To fix this, simply relate the layout's table to the graphic's table.

Another IWP related gotcha: Buttons from global containers in portals do not execute scripts correctly if the relationship to the button isn't based on the portal's table.

Obscure enough ? ;)
