Sound recording has no place in my application ... yet a Sound Record dialog pops up whenever the user double clicks on an empty container field. How can this be stopped?

10 years ago, someone posted this method on another forum:

"Double clicking will only open sound record if empty" ... implying: put a blank in the container.

Is FileMaker's technology still that crude? Isn't there a centralized way to disable the sound recorder function entirely? ... or at least for an individual container? ... or intercept the double click? Having a blank in a container derails the easy check for Field="" means empty ... and may impact other uses of field. I try to avoid such gimmicks.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Update: It's even worse than I thought. If there's an image in the container (not text), the Sound Record dialog pops up, as well. So even the simple solution is negated.

If you set the container field as a button, then it cannot be double-clicked.

If there's an image in the container (not text), the Sound Record dialog pops up, as well.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

And ... you are correct. My late-night analysis was based on an illusion that required daylight to expose (plus sleep). What I actually found was a "receiving container" field on top of the actual display field. One was occupied; the other was not ... hence the activation of the recorder.

So, having anything occupying a container prevents activation of the recorder. But FileMaker should provide an explicit setting instead of requiring such an obtuse method.

Thanks for your response.
