Hi, this is not weird at all. This is described since a while that the licrary should be converted before moving to 64 bits application. V17 is the latest major version (in 32bits) able to allow you to do that. It seems that V18 will be delivered only in 64 bits due to contrainsts coming from expl

Hello, I have a project where sales data is being sent to an FTP site and I'm picking it up and importing into 4D. The latest dataset comes from Asia Pacific and is stored as a double byte character set in EBCIDIC format. I need to somehow open this and convert it back to the source character

Hi Mike, I don’t know for sure, because I have limited experience in this realm and 32 vs 64 causes my brain to hurt, but I’m thinking that something about the conversion didn’t ‘take’ completely (or maybe not at all). I’m just restating the obvious here, but in 32bit mode, PICT images display

Weirder and weirder this gets. These aren't picts. There's no "X" with "PICT" after running the conversion code. What I meant was that after I run the conversion code in 32 bit, the icons appear normally (as do the forms), but when I then open the structure in 64 afterward, they appear as a white

Hi, I really suggest you to export your library to a folder and to set this folder into your "ressources" folder. After that, redo the link with all pictures, unfortunally, must be done manually. At long terms, it is an investment because the day you have to update the picture, you just have to ch

no yo can't use a wild card... but if your library IDs are in sequential (or nearly) order you might be able to search for say: -12 to cover 120-129, 1200-1299, 12000-12999, etc On Mon, 7 Oct 2019 10:31:39 -0400, Mike Kerner via 4D_Tech wrote: > can i use wildcards with that search? you'd have
