Graphics that I've embedded into a FM file in container (not global container) fields are randomly disappearing.

The solution consits of around 10 databases, including a "design" database. The "Design" database contains the graphics. I haven't used global container fields because all this is running on a server and I don't want to have to take the server off-line every time I want to permanently add a new field and graphic to the "design" file. So all files, including the design file have a "link" field which is a global field with "1" in it - thus creating a relationship no matter what record you're on.

Two graphics within the container fields in particular are disappearing. All the other (15 or so) graphics are fine. This means of course, all the databases don't show those two graphics which makes it ******* hard to use the database.

I could just re-create the offending fields and update all references to them - but there would be at least 100 references.

FileMaker Support in Australia are not much help at all - I'm really hoping someone has come across this problem and can save me re-creating the fields.

The solution is on the latest FM7 server and I'm using the latest FM7 Developer client. All the graphics are PNG files (because they have transparency), I've added new graphics (container fields) since without issue. It's just two particular fields.

Make sure there are no duplicates of the database files with the same names on your local hard disk -- you could be randomly opening different files each time.
