Global container not cross platform

[mga]

I've set up a global container field on the Mac, into which I've imported a JPEG. I did this by clicking into the field in Browse mode and choosing Insert/Picture... then navigating to the file. I made sure that "Store only a reference" was turned off.

This works fine on Macs on the network, but on Windows machines the global field contains the error "The file cannot be found: ", instead of rendering the JPEG as I expected.

What's happening? It looks as if it's a problem due to the path changing on Windows. But since I inserted the photo directly into FileMaker (rather than storing as a reference) it should already be stored in the database itself, and therefore equally available to both platforms?

Please see my post on This thread and read David Kachel's white paper for more info on globals. It is a good read.
