Loading to web?

[carlosnorvik]

Any opinions on loading files to web and storing link as alternative to container files?

[Joe Pampalon]

Could you clarify what you're asking? Are you asking if SuperContainer is better than FileMaker container fields?

Hi Joe:

No need to ask, otherwise SuperContainer would not be so popular .

My question is because I have some pictures, pdf's and similar files that I would like to be able to view when needed (not interested in viewing them every time I open a Layout, only sporadically)

I have 3 options

a) FM container fields

Super Container

c) Uploading files to the web and accesing them via a link and a OpenURL script (for restricted view files I can set a PW protected directory on the web that hosts my web page, 1and1), but nothing that will be uploaded can be considered highly confidential.

 

What I want to know is what FMforumer's think about these alternatives, I guess they all have pro's and con's, and would like to hear about people's experiences.

 

Thanks and regards

Carlos
