Re: Foundation Status?

Folks, Foundation 5.7 works with 4D v18. Foundation 5.7 includes a PDF for how to update the Foundation Toolbar in your existing databases to deal with the deprecation of PICTs in 4D. It is straight forward, but does require about 10 minutes of work. Of course, any forms you created on your

Re: Mac OS Catalina, V16.6, permissions, etc.

Bob, Have you thought of creating a VMWare (or equivalent) boot to run Mojave? I will be doing that as so many apps I use are still not 64-bit to say nothing of running legacy versions of 4D? I know this doesn’t help with your permissions w/Catalina… Thanks, Walt > On Oct 31, 2019, at 10:27

Kirk, Yes, they are looking for street addresses for a given city. That site you noted seems like a very good place to start. I didn’t realize this was just a difficult task - would seem the USPS would have a database of all deliverable addresses, but if they do - they don’t make it
