Thanks for the responses so far! I'm so glad I still have help here! (I'm gonna need it.) How wonderful to hear from some of you old-timers -- all the way back to the CompuServe days (Douglas von Roeder and Lee Hinde for sure, and Chip Scheide might have been around in those days. My memory fails me.) I can hear that blasted 9600 baud modem screeching, to this day! :-)) <--- Yes, I've adopted a double chin, now. Gotta get rid of that stupid thing. :-((
After a little plowing through 4D Insider, I've found a few plugins that I wasn't even using, but never bothered to clean out. I've already removed Expat4D, 4D Open and PrintList Pro. I had already removed the MD5 plugin I mentioned earlier, but I had forgotten I had. (I was working off an old list of plugins.) Before I waste more of your time, I'm going to need to dive into the upgrade manuals and do some further preening of my code, to make sure that I'm only porting the code that I'm actually using. 4D Insider will help me locate stuff I'm not using. By the way, is there a replacement for that functionality now that there is no more 4D Insider? I am glad to hear that it's actually possible to go straight to v15. I'm going to have lots of questions along the way. I hope you guys don't get tired of me. Guy Algot, I appreciate the offer of help, but we're pretty low budget in this state office. Just upgrading the software is sending shock waves. I appreciate the offer, though.
