I have a startup script where I want to set the company logo which is in a container field and which I'm storing (NOT AS A REFERENCE) to a global $$ merge variable. I then want to use that global merge variable on various other layouts in the DB.

First, can you set a picture file to a global merge variable? I'm not getting any image to appear on my form. If I can't do it this way can someone recommend a "best practices".

Thanks.

Merge variables, same as merge fields, are converted to text. If you set a $$variable to a container field and merge it onto the layout, you should see the file name - just as you'd get as the result of GetAsText (YourContainerField).

You should use a container field with global storage instead of the variable.

Comment & David : Thank you for your input - much appreciated !!!
