Back when I was learning about the FileMaker Data API, I had trouble finding any information on how container data was handled. Oddly, the upload information in the Help documentation seemed far more complete than the download information, especially considering the download information isn’t even it’s own section. It’s a note in the URL And Data Format notes section. In essence, the note is: You will get a URL referencing the location of the container data, which is somewhere on the internet. You’re welcome. I ended up utilizing the Base64 Encode And Decode functions in a way that I’ll forever keep as a tool in my developer’s toolbox. If you’re not familiar with these functions, they easily convert images into text and vice versa.

FM BetterForms is not just a web front end for your FileMaker Pro solutions. It’s very much the front end that FileMaker has been needing for some time. What I mean is that while the rest of the world moved on to HTML/CSS and JavaScript for their UIs, FileMaker did not. In fact, it’s only in the upcoming release of FileMaker Pro 19 that JavaScript is being incorporated into the UI. FM BetterForms has taken it upon itself to go ahead and modernize the UI for the web.
