FileMaker Database Basics

An introduction to Windows, Mac and Web databases

You probably have information scattered about, in spreadsheets, in documents, or on paper.

Tips and Tricks

Embed QuickTime Movies in a Database

Chris Moyer, The Moyer Group CEO and FileMaker Advisor technical editor, and Bob Bowers, Soliant Consulting CEO and FileMaker Advisor technical editor

When I'm inserting the file, it doesn't look like I have the same options for choosing whether to embed the file in the database or store only a reference as I do with files and pictures. It only will store as a reference. That won't do, because I have to be able to send the database, with the movies embedded, to users, who are my company's employees. Do you have any ideas?
