Script the import of the image into the "Image" field as a reference and also set the file path into the "Image location" field

Greetings;

I have tried to set the path as listed below, however i am getting an error...

Set Variable [$Path; Value: "imagewin://DOTF/Delights of the Flesh/Images/" & Product Catalog::Image_location3]

Go to Field [Product Catalog::Image]

Insert Picture [Reference; "$Path"]

The File "productsmain.large.100011029.pd29-13-00.jpg" could not be found and is required to complete this operation.

The actual link i am trying to get it to import is more like;

http://www.**********.com.au/dbimages/productsmain.large.100011029.PD2913-00.jpg

A container field cannot display an image stored on the web. Use the web viewer instead.

put web viewer on filemaker layout.Give them object name and set URL of Image where it is located.

hide it behind of Container field and put button "insert image/file" then fire a script which will like as

1. go to Object[Object name;"web](web is the object name here.)

2 copy[select]

3 Paste[select;table_name:container field name]

Why not simply let the web viewer display the image?

2 copy[select]

3 Paste[select;table_name:container field name]

... and that may work on a Mac, but doesn't work on Win.

Just noticed that..... :)

Is there a way to get "Web" to resize an image, the webviewer is bringing up the image, but it is bigger then the size (178 x 220).
