The help system clearly indicates that a CONTAINER may be specified as an element in an XML import. (although export is not permitted).

My XML skills aren't good, but I can read the XML, but just can't see how to specify an image as the required content for the DATA element.

Any one know how to do it?

Many thanks

Update:

The DTD supplied by FM says that containers must be specified as a relative URL (I expected that), however the import does not work.

Any one got any ideas.

Here's my XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

0

You are correct. You cannot *import* BLOBs (binary large objects) (otherwise known as container objects in FileMaker). Can you create a calculation (container result) using the imported text of the name and/or path to the image?

Thanks Beverly

My reference to "image.gif" is actually a URL, as prescribed in the FMP documentation, and quoted...

"Note: The content of picture fields will be in the form of a relative URL used for retrieving the image." (ref: fmpxmlresult_dtd.htm)

Does it actually work?
