You would need to d/l it to a file first, then rely on another plugin which could either directly import it to a field (something not supported by the FileMaker API, but at least one developer has hacked his way to that end), or one which can put it on the clipboard so that your FMP script could paste it into a container field. Another possibility which I think would work is to always download it to the same location and filename, and have a predefined FMP script that imports the picture to a container. -wayne On Sunday, October 12, 2003, at 07:19 PM, David Thorp wrote: > Hi, can anyone shed any light on this for me? > > I have had much success using nettools to download text into text > fields.
