I also have one client that is a huge 4d write user. We also need to have ability to convert to Microsoft word. Additionally, there are some things we do not seem to be able to do in write pro so for now, we will be maintain 4d write licenses across multiple servers and standalone dos. At the last Summit many spoke of this issue and 4D stated that they were going to implement export to word and not rtf.
The same thing occurred in quick reports. The 64 but version did not at first release support cross table reports which we use extensively Perhaps we can create a survey and ask 4dwrite users what is stopping them from going to write pro Regards Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Informed Solutions, Inc.
