How to; IWP and containers

FMP 9 adv
WinXP

I have a file that I occasionaly want to share through IWP. Each record has
a calculated container such as

"image:./items/" & GetAsText(ItemID) & ".jpg"

Which works well on my own machine since the the folder for items is just
one up from the path where the filemaker file is residing. I do see the
image in filemaker. How can I make it so that the image is also visible
through IWP? Preferably using the same field.
Such like (pseudo-code)

Case ( it_is_me_localy ; "image:./items/" & GetAsText(ItemID) & ".jpg" ;
it_is_a_remote_user ; ?????;
Other options go here )

Perhaps there is something obvious I have not found using the help?

Keep well, Ursus

Usually it is two periods / fullstops to denote going up a directory,
so the file path should probably be:

"image:../items/" & GetAsTest(ItemID) & ".jpg"

You may also have to check operating system settings like directory
permissions to make sure the "items" directory can be seen / accessed
by other people.

Harry,

It is not .. in this case it is . I know this for sure because it works when
in FileMaker. I do see the pictures there. But when I log in using IWP only
empty containers show up.

I don't know about permissions. I thought I would see any data represented
in IWP as if it was in FileMaker, since there is really no other access. IWP
is not the same as networking access, where I do have to set permission.

Keep well, Ursus

Re: How to; IWP and containers (Webviewer)

Harry (and others)

I have now tried to use the WebObject instead of the container. For the
webobject I have changed the calculation into:

"file:d:/filemaker/items/" & GetAsText(ItemID) & ".jpg";

Which again for FileMaker works fine, but shows an empty WebObject when
using IWP.

Keep well, Ursus
