FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1030
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
You must specify a field, click in a field, or use the Go to Field script step before performing this
script step.
When Insert QuickTime is performed, unless a file is specified with the Specify source file option,
FileMaker
Pro displays a dialog box where the user can select and preview the file to be imported.
Notes
• If there is no active container field on the layout where the script is being performed, Insert
QuickTime returns an error code that can be captured with the
Get(LastError) function.
• This script step requires that QuickTime extension for Windows be installed.
• For a list of media types that QuickTime supports, see Using data in container fields.
• FileMaker Pro doesn't import the file; it only stores a reference to the file and keeps track of
where it is on your hard disk.
Example 1
