Customizing FileMaker 3.0

Hi!

I would like to create an application to visualize drawings related to my items in FM.

Does anybody know how to carry it out?

Must I program Windows API?

Best regards.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.

1) Do you want to view graphics in a database?

2) Do you want to take data from FMP and then graph the data as a pie or bar chart?

3) Do you want to have graphics drawing tools in browse mode in a filemaker record?

4) Something else...

-> 1) To put a graphic in a filemaker db, create a "container" field, and in browse mode click into the field. now either import/insert the graphic, or paste a graphic from the clipboard. (Drag/drop will work too).

-> 2) There are tricks to create bar charts from data, solely with FMP, but the most direct way is to use Excel to query FMP via ODBC and have Excel do a chart.

-> 3) I can't help you much here, except maybe look at embedding an OLE object in MS Windows into a filemaker container field.

-> 4) Do you have more info on what you want to do ???
