Richard,
GetAsText ( containerfield ) returns the path to the original if you
have added a reference.

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?
