Using a Camera with FileMkaer

Hello,

I am fairly new to FileMaker. I work in the Prop Shop in the Theatre at school. We are using FIleMaker to catalog all of the props we have and put them into an eaiser to find system.

One thing we would like to do is take a picture of each prop for its entry in the database. Is there a way I can hook my camera up to my computer, take a picture of the prop, and have the picture immediately upload in filemaker to add information and comments? Or do I have to take all of the pictures and then import all of them into the database and then go back through all of them and add their information.

Thank you for any help

You may have seen this already, but Filemaker can do this in MacOS. Filemaker has detailed instructions on their website Here .

Unfortunately, the process doesn't work in Windows. It's something I've always wished for...
