Head-Scratcher!

Hi all, I’ve got a real head-scratcher! Any thoughts greatly accepted. I’ve got three 4D customers. At the beginning of 2021, all three were running 4D v16.4 C/S. Over the past couple of months, I’ve upgraded all to 4D v17.4. The first two upgrades went very smoothly. Last evening, I moved the

Hi Fernando, Save a copy of the Excelfile as a Tab-Delimited Text fieldworker (extension .txt). Launch 4D and navigate-to “Import” from a file, select .TXT as the file type, and map each column in the text file to which table and field the data needs to go. Simple. Regards, Ken > On Sep 26,

Designer Password Question

Hi All, I recently “inherited” a 4D v12 (Windows) database. The original developer has forgotten the Designer Password. But, fortunately, he had enabled the settings to allow the Administratror to access the design environment and the customer had that password. So, I’ve been able to make the c

SVG Replacement for "GRAPH TABLE"

Hi All, I’ve inherited an ancient 4D App that was last updated-to 4D v12. My customer wants me to make it compatible with modern 4D Versions. I opened it in 4D v15 and have replaced all the obsolete stuff except for two calls to “GRAPH TABLE”. I understand that I need to replace this with SVG.

Hi all, I’m solicitating your opinions. I’ve picked-up a new 4D client. They have an existing 4D system (v12 running on Win7) that has been stagnant for quite e few years. I believe it was originally written under 2004 or maybe even 6.8.5. They’re looking to replace their computers with Win10
