Steve, Well said! Our system has evolved over 11 years and we're a small shop. I've often thought of the 'time, money, and knowledge' conundrum, and each time 4D/Active4D has come through. I hope the 64 bit problem will eventually be addressed, though the possibility of load balancing with Apache/4D client may actually scale to larger capacity than the original plan.

We did that all the time and my former employer is still on 4D. It is hard, especially if whatever your system does was developed by a one or two person shop over a number of years. There certainly are better way of doing almost anything not using 4D - but do you have the time, money and knowledge to do it? That is usually to point that you hope the 4D will get their act together. I'm still waiting for Object-Oriented 4D! Think that was what my developer told me years ago would fix everything:-) Steve _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/ _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/
