Using data in container fields
•Store only as a reference instructs FileMaker Pro Advanced to store only a link to the graphic file instead of the entire file. This option may reduce the size of your FileMaker Pro Advanced file, but if you move or delete the graphic, FileMaker Pro Advanced will be unable to display it.
•Specify source file identifies the file that contains the graphic. The file path must begin with image, imagemac, or imagewin. See Creating file paths.
