And frankly attempting to hammer those solutions into the ORDA language doesn't do any good. I strongly suspect there is another way to accomplish the end result you need using tools available in ORDA but it's going to require re-thinking the problem from the beginning. What is the task or operation you want to accomplish? What's that result look like as an entity selection, collection or whatever? Then it becomes 'how do I get that result using the tools available?' That's where I find ORDA is most powerful - using it for what it's designed to do. I am not finding it particularly beneficial as a replacement for perfectly good, old 4D code. The fact it's a shiny new widget doesn't make it useful for everything. In this case your previous work may be perfectly fine and not worth the effort to retro fit. Personally I have a lot of concepts about how to do code operation in 4D that are strongly rooted in what it was possible to do in 4D. ORDA frequently goes in a different direction and the optimal ORDA solutions look much different than I'm accustomed to. Usually cleaner, tighter and less code. Not always, but usually. -- Kirk Brooks San Francisco, CA ======================= *We go vote - they go home* ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
