That is very encouraging, Narinder. As mentioned I don't have subtables, so all is good there, and there may be a few PICTs but none, I think, that are critical. Trialling should prove or disprove that. And I don't use 4D Write so that's another plus. Your input truly appreciated. :) Regards, Pete

Thank you Chip. The suggestion, from other users and from my local 4D rep in Australia, is for a 2-step conversion from v11 to v13, then to v17. So, similar to your advice. I will go that direction, and keep a watch out for PICT files. Regards, Pete -Original Message- From: Chip Scheide

I have done a conversion from v13 - v16, as an experiment. I had no problems. I did not run this for my users. I did some, but not extensive testing. as mentioned elsewhere there are a few things that I believe you can not resolve without a 32 bit version of 4D (PICTs) from inside 4D, and v17 i

my biggest problem here was trying to find the PICTs that were static pictures, that as it turns out, 4D had placed for me. These came from a gradient background that 4D used as part of the Form Wizard for listing forms. I let 4D create a bunch of these for me for tables which either had speci

Hi all. There was a small thread on this topic 12 months ago, overall the reaction seemed to be positive, but given that time has passed and other people may have tried a large 'jump' conversion such as this, I would be very interested in their experiences. In short we have a fairly large database,
