This tells you the syntax for linking file references to your database.
I made a database of video clips which were stored on a separate
harddrive. For each record, I used a calculation field, with the
video name. Then using an if then construction to determine win or
mac. I made the result of the cacluation a container. Thus the
database itself already had the linked information, so an open url
was unnecessary.
Hope that helps.

Hi all
FMPSA 9 on a Mac, Mac and Windows clients
I am trying to allow the user to easily access files that are
being
uploaded (using Lasso) and stored on a separate hard drive. My
plan
is to use the open URL function of FMP. When I have the hard drive
mounted to my client Mac locally on the same subnet it works fine
and
the following link in a browser opens the folder with my uploads:
file:///Volumes/DriveName/Location/uploads/
When I am not on the local subnet it does not work even if the
upload
folder is mounted on my remote computer.
Is there a trick to getting a browser to open a directory on a
remote disk?
Thank you in advance.
Stan
