Ursus,
Many thanks. I was afraid of that. :) In this case we're talking
about 6GB of image data so that would just balloon the db. What about
putting the images into a separate FMP file and pulling them from
that? (I wonder how long it would take to im****t 6GB of image data.)
Then we'd be pulling the images over fmnet instead of imagewin. It
might be slow as mol*****, but I'm going to try it.
I know the file size limit for FMP version 6 is 2GB, what about later
versions? According to this source:
http://tinyurl.com/3p6aqa
.... (not a great source I'll grant) the limit on file size in FMP
version 7 is 8TB. That can't be right -- can it?
