I am working on a database that will include a photo (small JPEG) in a container field. Is there a way to display the file name of the photo (JPEG) in the database? The photo in the container field is actually placed in the database, in other words, not linked to a separate file. Thanks!

Thanks John. I have downloaded the Paper and will read it. I have used Filemaker for 20 years but most of our databases are not that complicated. Hopefully this paper will answer my question.

Cheers,

Mark
