| Two things. One, this is apparently dependent upon another custom function witch isn't mentioned in the description. Two, why not use use GetAsText ( ContainerField )? | ||

| Hi Sean, Sorry about the dependent functions. I should have mentioned that. These two should solve that problem: - http://www.briandunning.com/cf/997 - http://www.briandunning.com/cf/292 You can't just use GetAsText for Containers that are stored externally in FileMaker 12 since it returns different values now. |

| Couple of issues here. There is no ValuesRemoveEmptyValues function, but there is a RemoveEmptyValues. Also there is no ValuesFind function but there is a FindValues function. For FindValues, you'll need ListIndex. Both FindValues and ListIndex use "list" parameter that FMP12 won't allow so they need to be renamed. |

| Here's a waaaay easier method, works on local and remote container fields Let( [ filename = GetAsText(<Your Container Field>); filename = Substitute(GetValue(filename ; 1) ; "remote:" ; "") ]; filename ) |
