Multipage Tif

[Sargo]

Does anybody have a method of working with multipage tif files for a cross-platform document management solution on FMP5. The images I have been able to get into container fields seem to only show or give access to the first image with no access to the other pages.

I do want to keep the entire image, not just a reference, in the data base to allow multiple levels of security.

Thanks in advance

FileMaker does not work with multi-layered (pages) TIF images. If you're using FMP 5.5, you can output the pages of the TIF image to a PDF file, then put the PDF file in the container field.

If you place the TIF image in the container field with a Windows machine, opening or double-clicking the image will open the image in Microsoft Image Viewer - BUT this is not a cross-platform solution - it won't work on a MAC.
