The minimum version of FileMaker really needs to be mentioned for these functions. I struggled to get this to work under 12 until I finally found through an online search that Base64Decode was introduced in version 13. I thought at first that it was another custom function but, of course, I couldn't find it. | ||

In FileMaker versions less than 12 you shall use the free BaseElements plugin from goya.com to be able to do base64 encoding/decoding | ||
