External alias to FileMaker record.

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

Firstly, sorry if I have posted this on the wrong board.

My question is as follows:

Is it possible to create a link/alias from a FileMaker record in my database to a folder on my desktop?

The reason for this is to be able to go directly from a folder which contain the clients job/artwork(and said alias) to their specific data base entry?

Many thanks for any help give.

Not sure if you can create a link to a folder without scripting, but you can create a link to a file. Just add a container field to your layout and then insert the file that you want on browse mode. It will probably display as a clickable small icon (it depends on the type of the file), so I guess you can create multiple container fields to your layout to link you to the different files (contained in the folder of each client). Or you can create a portal with a single container field to display the different files for each client.
