FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 58
Insert Picture
Purpose
Imports a graphic from another file into the current container field.
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.
Compatibility
This script step is:
• not supported in web publishing
• not supported in a FileMaker Server scheduled script
Notes
• You must specify a field, 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.
• 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.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Examples
Go to Field [Table1::Photo]
Insert Picture ["My_Photo.tif"]
