I believe the limit per field is 64k, but I'd like to know if that's not the case. If I was to put the 7 mb of data into the custom property of a stack, for example, I suppose I could open it as invisible at startup. The question is, would accessing a particular item in that data be any slower th

Another option is continue using the source file externally but either 1) encoding it, such as using base 64 or some other encoding scheme and/or compression, or 2) placing the data within a user property of a stack, and password protecting the stack. FWIW, Scott Rossi Creative Director, Tact

Do you need to save and access the data file. You could put the data file into another rev stack.That way it can not be access by other. Place a field on one card then put the data in that field. If the data is to big maybe different cards. Then when you need the data call it from your main stack.
