Well, each record in the database will correspond to a video module (there will eventually be several thousand), and I'd like to somehow attach the scripts without having to re-enter all that data. So I need a field that, instead of saying "enter text" or whatever, you click on a Browse button to locate the script (which will be either a Word or Excel file), and just attach it to the record.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I don't have filemaker in front of me because I don't have it at this job, but I THINK there is something called a container field which would work. I know I have used it for pictures. You should then be able to make a button that lets one search for the file. I am sorry that I can't be more help, but without the program to play with, I can't quite remember what to do.
I don't know what version you have, but I googled this:
It looks like you can drag and drop into the container field, as well.

Thanks, I'll try that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have had success burning a VCD from an avi file and watching it on my dvd player.
How would one do that?

I used Nero. Open Nero, tell it you want to burn a VCD, drag the .avi file into the box, away you go. Of course that only works if the .avi is small enough to fit onto the CD; the HDTV files aren't always, and the conversion process makes them bigger.

Interesting. I have Sonic MyDVD, and it seems to be able to do the VCD thing, although I can't...hold on a sec, a VCD is an actual CD, right? Not a DVD? I wonder if my DVD player can play those things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Newer DVD players are more likely to have that feature.

Mine's a few years old. I am wary. I'll try it out tonight. But my friend has a pretty high-tech one that also burns DVDs and shit, so it would probably be able to play them.

My crappy old dvd player could play VCDs, although I ended up replacing it when it started choking on home-burned dvds & vid collections.

All is well that ends in pizza.
What model do you have P-C? Maybe we can find out what formats it plays on The Internets or using The Google.
