virtually every major program
running in 4D will break when it is upgraded to v11
Hi Walt
From what I've seen of v11 so far, it looks like less pain to
upgrade than, say, the move from 6.7 to 2003/4 since those had a
brand new OS to support if you were using Mac.
Once the dust settles on v11 I'm firmly expecting to have a
reasonably smooth upgrade for my 90-workstation 24/7 mission critical
network apart from having to re-code a few sub-files which have been
in there since the dawn of man. Also, Active4D of course.
[Will let you know if things don't go according to expectations -:) ]
Just wondering what in particular you would have had 4D do
differently ? They are usually pretty good at preserving behavior via
the compatibility checkbox approach. They had to support unicode to
not go out of business. Same for SQL and X-LIFF. The native DB
language (and behavior) is preserved. Legacy support for Ascii and
resources is preserved.
Feel free to consider my comments naive as I haven't embarked on a
single upgrade yet, so your the one with the experience on that front
and I'll gladly take any advice going.
As for Active 4D, I've so far been provided with a great product for
not much money by a 1-man operation so I don't feel in a position to
make any demands there. I've told my customer Mar-Dec 2010 for
Active 4D v11 and I'm amazed at the progress Aparajita has already
made according to his last report considering he was looking for work
just a few weeks ago.
Think we'll just sit it out with 2004 for now and see how things go.
Regards
Peter
