I apologize I don't think I was clear enough. I don't need to append .jpg to the end of the data in my graphics field. When I add the JPG files to the resource list the file names are becoming truncated because they are to long. Is there a Java script rule that can just point to the folder that they are in so I don't need to call them in as resources, thus bypassing the truncation issue?

You should be able to do something like this in a Graphic JavaScript rule: return CreateResource(Field("graphic 1") + ".jpg"); In this example, a field value of "A1" would result in the graphic "A1.jpg". Obviously you will need to modify this to match the exact file names. You could also put the graphic file names, with extensions, directly into the database fields, which would allow you to simplify the JavaScript logic even more: return CreateResource(Field("graphic 1")); You may need to set the Search Path on the Advanced tab of the Composition Settings dialog to specify the location of the graphic files. regards, Alex -----Original Message----- From: Pete Pickslay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 4:32 PM To: FusionPro Users Forum Subject: [fusionpro] Large file names I have a lot of .jpg files that a customer would like us to call in variably. My only problem is that the names of these files a very large and are being truncated when loaded in the Resources library. For my graphic rule to work I need the names of the files to be exactly the way the customer named them. Any help would be appreciated.
