Drag and Drop Photo insert

[Diplo~matt]

I have a data base on Filemaker 7 and a large folder on my server with over 20,000 photos that i need to insert into there coresponding record in filemaker. i want there to be a way for my employees to drag the file from the folder in windows and drop it in the container field in filemaker.

i have tried to do this on my own and what i wind up with is a link that opens the file in windows. any sujestions?

create a script that will insert the photo

Go to field [test::pix]

Insert Picture ["NamePix.jpg"]

You can click on the specify file then save the path.

OR simply right click on the container field then select "Insert Picture..."

this last sujestion works but not for my purposses. i need this to be a quick drag and drop. is there a way to change the format of the container field to react in the way i want?

Thanks again
