Topic: File location bookmark

Hi Guys,

I have various resources in various folders in my computer storage devices / hard disks.
When adding a resource I'd like to bookmark the file location  and navigate to the location via button with default file browser rather than saving actual resource file within DB file using dbFile component.


I couldn't work it out. Please help.......

Re: File location bookmark

Hi Adam,
If I understand your question correctly, couldn't you set the 'type' object property of the dbfile object to 'linkfile' instead of 'storefile'?
Please see the attached (any rows of test data that I've left in will need to be deleted as they're pointing to various files on my PC).
Regards,
Derek.
