I'm trying to make a listenable database of my company's projects.

I'm wondering two things:

1 - I need to automate the process of inserting mp3, aiff, or wav files into container fields. This is possible with JPEG or other graphic files with the use of applescript. I can tell filemaker pro to use "set cell" to set the container field to a jpeg file. I cannot however accomplish the same thing when the file is an mp3 - Filemaker gives me the "Wrong Data Type" error. Does anyone know a better way of doing this, and if not, can anyone tell me how to teach Filemaker that any format that Quicktime supports can go into a container field?

2 - Does anyone know how to check to see if a container field already contains a quicktime movie? I want to check to see if an mp3 is already in the container before I let the user add one. I've tried

If ["Track Media"]

Beep

End If

and the darn thing won't beep if there's a quicktime movie in there or not.

HELP!!

Thanks!

I set up a field calculation with if(isempty) and the varied the text depending on whether there is anything in the field or not. Hope this helps
