Hi Ferdinando, An other way to look at it: store the local machine IP in your data upon startup of the client. And eventually the disconnect when quitting. The advantage is you can have a history of which client connected from which IP. HTH Koen Op 11-jan.-2017, om 07:48 heeft stardata.info h

David, Peter Hay uses a nifty method of appending a type indicator onto the property name. So you instead of OB SET ARRAY($MyObject_o; "My Array" ; $MyBooleanArray_ab) OBW_SetArray ($MyObject_o; "My Array" ; ->$MyBooleanArray_ab) Within OBW_SetArray you determine the type of the array and appe

Hey Kirk, thanks for the post. I'm absolutely _not_ coming to JSON with a 4D perspective. Quite the opposite. JSON is great for many, many things.
