February 15, 200620 yr 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?
