I made up a nifty little catalog to identify all the images we have on CDs
and match them up with the database info. I inserted references to keep the
file size down and speed up operations. This file  and the images reside on
our G5.

I'd like to be able to work on it with my eMac or have my assistant work on
it (he had an iMac) remotely, in our offices. We are networked but don't use
FMP server software. The file is in FMP 8, but we only have one copy of 8.
We do have several copies of 7 which means we can open the file on our
remote computers.

But we can't see the images. All you see is the reference. Is there some way
around this with networked computers?

 If I had inserted the images instead of the references would we be able to
see them? If so, I could run our 5000 images through a batch processor
making them into tiny thumbnails. The file would still be large, but it
might be worth it to be able to see the images.

Is there some other way?
