Bruce, You can solve this by creating 2 fields: a Container - "TempContainer" a calc text field - "Path" with the formula "GetAsText ( TempContainer )"
Import the file in question into "TempContainer", with "Store only a reference to the file" checked. When you import the file in question into the container field, the path info will appear in the "Path" field. This should get you on the road, modify as necessary. -- Steve Gerow FileMaker 9/8/7 Certified Developer President Abrazos Data Consulting, Inc. Pasadena, California Member FileMaker Bus.
