Does anyone know of a script or plug-in that will let me export a container
field? I am using FM to make ID cards at a local school and I need a way of
exporting the container field (which is the picture of the kid), name and
grade. Using a Mac.

Thanks,

Hi Bob -

There was a recent post about a plug-in that does exactly this, but I couldn't
find it when I went back and looked. Hopefully the poster will comment, sorry
I couldn't remember the name of the plug-in. Also, Christoph B., one of our
regular problem solvers, has a cool method using a combination of scripting and
freeware. Several have reported using it successfully. I wish I could give
immediate advice, but I'm sure you will get help soon.

Best of Luck -
James

Dear Bob (and James),

well, problem solver? Ain't I sometimes more of a problem creator ;=) ?

Anyway, for people with PC/FMP combination I have some stuff collected at my
site www.tekstotaal.com/cbase.html#filemaker
I have no knowledge about Applescript on a Mac (I guess a low/no-cost
solution for your problem would lie there) but certainly there are many
people and there is much documentation around how to work on this. Basically
it is not much more than a copy/paste operation, with filenames in between.
The stuff on my site might point you in a feasable direction.
