Put a pic on a button

[evrcarlson]

New to FM. Is it possible to have a picture represent a button to go to a report? Example: the button would be a picture of a Barn; by clicking on the button the action would display the report on Farms in the area that have rental Barns. Or is there a way to insert a picture onto a button?

Paste the graphic on the layout and assign it Behavior>button.

If you feel that you might want to swap out this graphic and that you'll use it on many layouts, then use a gContainer field (global storage on a container) and put your graphic in the gContainer field.

Global fields are user session specific, therefore your Open Script needs to set this gContainer field. So, you need a corresponding Container field that holds the graphic. This field needs to be in a single record table (ie, a Prefs table).
