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
First, I would not use windows 7 at all. I would move to windows 10
Second here are some potential ares of concern that you will need to deal with
1. Are there any sub-tables. If so I would recommend creating new tables and
moving data in v 15
2. There are probably obsolete pictures in the db.
Hi Ken,
Does this app use 4D Write? If it does, and if you ever think this app will
move beyond v17, you gotta think about 64 bit, if you haven’t already.
Also, Chuck mentioned getting pictures converted, but there’s more to 64bit
compatibility. Would be good to run a 64 bit compatibility audi
Hi Chuck,
Thanks! I totally agree with you and was anticipating these changes. I have
just one really dumb question… In all my years using 4D, I have NEVER used a
sub-table. Just how would I recognize if this structure includes and sub-tables?
Regards,
Ken

You could write code and check each field in each table checking for type.
I think field type 7 is a link to a sub table. If desired some ok me in my
company can do this part for you as well as the code to unlink and update
the data. I have done this before.
I might even do this part in 12.

Hi Tom,
No, it does not use 4D Write. And, yes, I am aware of the 64-bit issue. I’ve
just been through this with two of my existing systems and am planning to
address this with this system. I will run a 64-bit compatibility audit on it
after replace the depreciated-stuff. This client is a non-p

Run, don’t walk, and upgrade to Windows 10. Windows 7 is abandoned, unpatched,
insecure, and dangerous. Running Windows 7 is a huge welcome mat to hackers and
ransomware. Firewalls and security s
Thanks Aparajita,
Yes, this is why I’m trying to get their 4D System to point where it will run
on a version of 4D that is happy on Win10. The only reason I mentioned Win7 is
if the consensus were to be that moving from 4D v12 directly to 4D v15 is too
big a step, I would move it through v14 on

Hi Randa,
Thanks much for your input. I never did very much with v14 at all. I guess it
is time to stat biting the bullet!

Thanks to all for your opinions. I think I am well on way.

We have a big legacy system that started its life in 1990, so on the French
version 4. It has been migrated through versions like 6.5, 6.8, 2003, 2004,
v11, v12, v15 and now v17. We made the jump from v12 to v15. The biggest issues
were getting the unique ids in place and removing 4D chart.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your insight. Fortunately, I do not have to worry about 4D Write. It
looks like my biggest issue will be replacing “GRAPH TABLE” with GRAPH / SVG in
two places.
Stay safe and healthy!
