Pulling Images into Database from remote location

[reichwaldl14]

I apologize in advance, but I am a self trained FM developer, and may not be able to accurately describe what I am looking to do, but unable to do.

I need to be able to pull images into a FM database, via a script, from a remote location. For example, the image files reside on computer A, but the FM clients need to pull the images from Computer A to the database being used on Computer B. This is not a reference to the file but actually pull the image file into the DB. (Although I am tossing around the idea as we have over 40,000 images to load into the database).

Where my script is going wrong is in the file path. I do not know the syntax that is correct. To compound the matters, I am unsure if the computer "hosting" the images is set up correctly to allow other computers to access the files. If I can get confirmation on the correct syntax, I can work on setting up the "host" computer.

We are using Filemaker Server 11. All servers and clients are Macs.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Attached is a screenshot of the current script that does not recognize the file:

BTW, I've also tried imagemac, instead of filemac.

Try to insert the image manually. If you're able to navigate to the image through the dialog, insert the image as reference only - then you can use GetAsText ( ContainerField ) to see the exact path. If not, then work on setting up the "host" computer first.

Works perfect now. Very appreciative of your help. I owe you a steak dinner.
