pop up file in a container box

[jeemart]

When I insert a PDf file or Word document in a container field how can I click on this so that the file opens for me to view?

Hope someone can help this starter to Filemaker.

Thanks

Store the file as reference.

When in 'Insert file' option, select the file and check the 'Store only Reference to the file' option, below 'files of type'.

Or, if you have the real file in the container, script an action to:

- export field content

- send event to that exported file to open it

- (but you may have to think about deleting it again when doen...)
