FMS - Save Doc to local Server Directory Tree

August 9, 200520 yr

I have a DB hosted on FMS 7. It has a container field to store documents (PDFs). Users run this application from their local system (client_local). They can add files to the container fields.

What I want to be able to do is to save (export) a file in the container field to the server local directory tree (file system) and replace it with a file reference to the file stored on the server. Is this possible?

It seems from my limited testing that when a user is running the DB from their local client, the DB is totally unaware of the local server filesystem. Thus any scripts I write try to access the clients local filesystem.

I don't want users to locally mount a shared directory off the server.

Is there any way to do this? I want to store the file references instead of the files to keep the DB file itself small.
