Ooops! Mistake in Picture container

[Javiere]

Dear friends, I make a mistake with a DB with 3000 records.

In a container field the DB has, I have inserted picture files not as references, and now the file is almost 2GB!

How can I correct this and make these pictures be referenced (using the data in the container).

Saludos,

Javier

Javier,

I posted a similar question [before I found yours] and, like you, haven't gotten a response. I wonder if you managed to solve this and if so, how?

Be sure you are working on a Copy, and then you will want to use a process such as shown by comment in his script Here. afterwords, you will want to reimport the pictures using the File Reference only.

Thanks a lot, I'll try the solution in a small set of records first to avoid potential mistakes with the path etc.
