Insert File as Reference with Cross-Platform Database

[Matt Murray]

We have a cross platform FM7 deployment that runs on Server7. An important part of of our business process requires that we attach a PDF of a scanned document to a record and to date I have done this using Insert File and stored it as a reference. The challenge is that when I do this on a Windows client I can't open the referenced link on the Mac and vice versa and opening this document when one of our customers call is very important. I would like to avoid storing the actual file in the database if possible. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
