Raybaudi Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi all friends from HELP ON LINE of FileMaker: Length function Format Length(field) Parameter field - any text, number, date, time, timestamp, or container field, or any text expression or numeric expression Data type returned number Description Returns the number of characters in field, including all spaces, numbers, and special characters. [color:red]For a container field, Length returns the total stored size of objects in bytes. But the real dimension of the object is lower ! (much lower for picture that aren't .jpg) Who knows the why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdealData Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I believe FM converts different graphics to one format (jpg?). I have seen significant increases in storage for graphics in FM files. Incidentally, please update your profile as you quoted from the FM8 help. The FM7 help does not offer the file size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Out of curiosity will that work for referenced files or calculation result container? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
