Global for a company logo?

[~consul]

I was flipping through one of my books on fmp, Visual Quickpro guide for fmp5,
and it mentions using a global container t ohold graphics if it is something I
am useing on many layouts. Spacewise, is it a smaller file to use the global
instead of pasting the image again and again? And would the page load up faster
too in a global?

If you are using the same graphic throughout a single file, then
FileMaker only stores it once. By using the global, you are not saving
any space for a single file.

If you refer to that global through a constant relationship from other
files, then you will be saving space because it is still only stored in
the one file. If doing this, you may not see the graphic while in Find
mode, depending on how you set up the constant relationship.

The real benefit to storing it in a global is that if the logo changes,
you only need to replace it in one place.
