Container fields and paths on Mac and PC

I have a container with a script to inset a picture. It is stored as a reference file so updates to the file are automatically updated in FM. Trouble is I need multiple users to insert the picture on Mac and PCs but opposing computers aren't see each others insert. Even using a VMware fusion version of filemaker cant be seen on a standard PC or Mac.

Is there any way around the PC/mac differences in the path? thanks

The Get(SystemPlatform) function will guide you here.

Make your filepath a Case calculation, using the Get(SystemPlatform) to determine "filemac" or "filewin"
