Is there ANY possible way to sort records by the size of the container field's contents? I want to decrease the size of a database that has pictures of people. I didn't know that it would be good to keep filesize down when starting, so I need to find the big files and change their resolution. Any ideas?

Its been a while, but I believe you can use the InsideScan plugin to export your field contents, then reimport them as thumbnails (InsideScan lets you manipulate the image resolution and size on import and export).

Alternately, I imagine that your could Export Field Contents in FM7 record by record and then use TroiFile to test for the size of the exported file- flagging the records with big files.

Hope that helps.
