Currently all the files are independent of Filemaker and all are stored in a
directory:
file:///Volumes/myDrive/myFolder/
There is no 'FMP' reference (that would come from an FMP import)....
I simply created many records each with a file name title like:
My file 1.txt
My other file.txt
This name.doc
Etc....
So I have the path & I have the filename - but that's it for now
I hope that helps...
