ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 52
Compatibility
This script step is:
• not supported in web publishing
• not supported in a FileMaker Server scheduled script
Notes
• If the specified field does not exist on the layout where the script is being performed,
Insert Current User Name returns an error code which can be captured with the
Get(LastError) function.
• User name is the FileMaker Pro user, an editable field displayed on the General tab of
the Preferences dialog box. To track user access to a database with more security, use
the
Get(AccountName) function to return the current user’s account name.
Examples
Go to Layout [“Sales”]
Insert Current User Name [Select; Sales::Sales Person]
Insert Picture
Purpose
Imports a graphic from another file into the current container field.
Format
Insert Picture [Select; <table::field>]
Options
• Store only a reference to the file instructs FileMaker Pro to store only a link to the graphic
file instead of the entire file. This option may reduce the size of your FileMaker Pro file, but if
you move or delete the graphic, FileMaker Pro won't be able to display it.
• Select Specify source file or click Specify to identify the file that contains the graphic. For
more information on creating file paths in FileMaker
Pro, see Creating file paths.
