I have a table that needs to have graphics inserted into container fields, but the graphics are from the Corel Draw Graphics Suite Application. The extension on the graphics are all .cdr and filemaker says it does not recognize the picture. Will I need to convert the pictures to a .jpg or .gif? Any suggestions on how to get the graphics into filemaker without having to do a conversion would be great. Please move this thread if it is in the wrong forum. Thank You!! :qwery:

Sorry, you'll need to convert the graphics into a format FMP understands. JPG, GIF, and PNG are all favorites for me (depending on usage). I've found EPS to be a bit fussy and there have been bugs here and there but for printing that might be the way to go. Otherwise one of the other three would be your best bet.

I spoke with our graphics guy and he found a script in Visual Basic that can convert the .cdr's to a .jpg or .gif using a batch file. I think we will go that route. Thanks for the feeback!!1
