Insert is a good choice for multi-user databases, because it ensures that all files will be
available for all users.

The Let user choose compression option becomes unavailable. This makes the Compression

7. For Compression, choose Compress (when possible).
8. Click OK.
With the above settings, when a file is inserted into the field and can’t be compressed because
of the display setting, that setting changes to Icon with filename, making file compression
possible. For example, if a JPEG file is inserted in the field, using the above settings,
FileMaker
Pro does not compress the file, and displays the content in the field. However, if an
Excel file is inserted in the field, FileMaker
Pro compresses the file and displays an icon in the
field.
9. Save and then run the script.
In the custom Insert File dialog box, with the above settings, you can’t select Store only a
reference to the file or Compress, but you can choose a filter (from Show).
