Export Container Field?

[joelsaltzman]

I was running a script to export this container field to modify the picture and then put it back in the container field when all of a sudden FM tells me that I cannot export a container field?:

Any ideas?

Only textual data can be exported using the Export records command.

Instead, try the Export Field Contents script step..

Hi,

We designed a photo gallery that contains JPEG images in a container field, they are stored in the database and not linked to.

Having read your answer, can I know a little more about how to export the contents of a container field to a file (if it is possible)? I would like to be able to copy the image field contents to a file of the same format as the original (e.g. JPEG).

I run FMDev 6 under XP - is it possible with this old version?

Thanks in advance!

Anne
