Calculated Image Container & remote server

Clintonator
in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Hi,

I have have searched everywhere for a solution with no luck. I am a noob so this could be simple.

I am using filemaker to create proofsheets for our clients. Each record has a container field that is calculated by our Market and Client ad number. These images reside on a remote server and I cannot seem to get this to work.

My current calculation is:

"file://192.0.1.222:Graphics:" & Market & ":ads:" & adNumber & ".eps"

I recieve an unable to find file error. If I import the image manually i get the same path. I am stumped at this point.

We have 10 different markets, so I am trying to avoid using the import folder option 10 times unless there is a way to do it via a script, which I also cannot find.

Any help is appreciated.

Your syntax is wrong.

If it's on a server you would use this path:

"filewin://192.0.1.222/Graphics/" & FolderName & "/" & FileName & ".eps"

Something like that.
