Applying field options and using remote container storage

Container fields add a lot of interesting functionality to your databases. But there…are a couple of things that you need to be aware of before you start using them or really…before you start inserting files into them. Here we have a Container field called CompanyLogo,…and it's defined inside of a table called Customers in a file called Untitled_06_03.…One thing I want to show you is that if you notice here over on the right-hand side, here…is the folder where this file resides, and currently the file is 393K. What I would like…to do is insert in a picture, and you will see the picture in the same folder is called author.…

But that this file is 33 MB in size, so I am going to insert that into the container field.…Then you will see that since it's such a large file, takes a moment to display and…also that's going to have some impact on the performance of the file. As we go from record…to record, you'll see that there's a quick second there that it takes to actually load…this image, and that can be a real big problem if you've got a lot of records with a lot…
