I've created a portal to a table with a container field. In this field I added a file reference as a test. I want to be able to have others access the file using this reference however when others try to open the file it gives them an error and has then try to find the file. I can open it just fine. The file is stored on our server. What am I doing wrong? I was hoping to use the container field as an electronic file storage system. Any suggestions?

The container field has the same problem even if I create a layout for that table and field. Any suggestions on why somebody else on the network cannot access the files referenced or embedded in the container field? I checked the permissions on the file and the network folder it is in and they seem to be fine.

Well when you store an image as a reference in a container field, it stores the path to the location of where it was located.

Try using a shared network location accessible by everyone to put the images first. Then add them into the container field.

the file is located in a shared network location.
