In our context, both conditions could be true. We have some 4D databases which are multiuser and accessed via the LAN by clients talking to the 4D server. Then, we have other 4D data bases which are "standalone" archives created with a single user license residing on a single machine. So, yes, in the former context we would want Rev to be able to talk to the 4D server, in the latter case we just want to be able to develop an alternate output interface for the 4D archive in xTalk, leaving the original 4D structure file intact. In this latter case, then the 4D data file resides on your hard drive and Rev can read and display the data... in this context users will not be expected/allowed to write to or change the data file, which for them is a static resource which can only accept revisions by authorized persons via the 4D interface, and then the data file would be redistributed as an update... Rev's options for RAD development of a variety of viewing/output interfaces are a zillion percent more facile than 4D scripting.
