Insert Picture script step

Format


Insert Picture [Select; <table::field>]

Options

Store only a reference to the file instructs FileMaker Pro to store only a link to the graphic file instead of the entire file. This option may reduce the size of your FileMaker Pro file, but if you move or delete the graphic, FileMaker Pro won't be able to display it.

Select Specify source file or click Specify to identify the file that contains the graphic. For more information on creating file paths in FileMaker Pro, see Creating file paths.

Web compatibility

This script step is not web-compatible.

Description

Imports a graphic from another file into the current container field. If you do not specify a field, then click in a field or use the Go to Field script step before performing this script step. If you have not specified a graphic to be imported, FileMaker Pro displays a dialog box, where the user can select the graphic file to import.

Note If there is no active container field on the layout where the script is being performed, Insert Picture returns an error code that can be captured with the Get(LastError) function.

Examples


Go to Field [Table1::Photo]
Insert Picture ["My_Photo.tif"]
