November 17, 201114 yr I am housing Word documents in a container field. However, when I try to open them there is a problem and something funky happens. Am I doing somethin wrong here...? Thanks... Dr.L
November 18, 201114 yr Need more info. How is the word file inserted into the container field? How is it stored? What version of FMP? Usually I'm pretty happy when something funky happens, but that's probably because I'm "of a certain age".
November 18, 201114 yr Author I'm on FM 11Pro...usually we drag and drop or copy into a container field...all works well with a PDF and/or JPG... Dr. L
November 24, 201114 yr Author Help! No assistance here, no one has any answers as usual? Doesn't anyone know what's occurring here? Dr.L
November 24, 201114 yr You *really* haven't explained what the problem is. Telling us that "all works well with a PDF and/or JPG" isn't describing the problem with the word files. Don't drag and drop, use the insert file command.
November 24, 201114 yr "usually we drag and drop or copy into a container field...all works well with a PDF and/or JPG" Are you storing the file in the container? Or are you storing a reference only? Drag and drop suggests you are storing the files themselves (but we are trying to find out if it is just manual or whether script assists?). I do not believe that double-clicking the container will open them unless you store 'reference only'.
