Need a Dynamic Path

[Donkick]

I use the script step "insert picture" to automatically pull the most recent version of my document "Artwork.jpg." the script pulls the image from the same document each time after we overwrite the document. works great.

imagemac:/MyComputer/Documents/Artwork.jpg

Here is the problem: I need multiple people to be able to work on the database without importing each others document by accident. So I need to make this filepath dynamic for each machine that it runs on.

Can you help?

Not sure what you're expecting. Are you saying that you plan to embed the image in a container field, and that it will always have the same path for each user? That is, every workstation has an "Artwork.jpg" file in their Documents folder?

Why not just Insert Picture w/dialog?

[Donkick]

Yes, that is exactly correct.

I don't want a dialog because it takes too long - each user inserts 30-50 times per day so that could translate to 15-30 minutes per day extra dialog time.

do you know of a way to make the filepath change depending on who is embeding?

Try the Get( DocumentFilePath ) function.
