You can store a file in a container field. When you issue the "Insert File" command, you're given the option of storing either the file itself or a reference (link, path, etc.) to the file in whatever location it's stored on your hard disk (or maybe your entire network; haven't tried that at all).

But, AFAICT, after you've done the insertion what you SEE in the field is a document icon with a file name underneath, regardless of whether you've stored the file itself or a reference to it. I'd like to be able to display for my users which kind of thing they've got in that field, but I couldn't find either a Get or Design function that would tell me.

IS there such a function?
