Brian, See the WP New command. You pass it a blob field where your 4D Write document it stored. It returns a 4D Write Pro object with the converted document.
You could add an object field to the table with your 4D Write documents and do something like this to convert them: READ WRITE([Table]) ALL RECORDS([Table]) APPLY TO SELECTION([Table];[Table]Pro_object:=WP New([Table]Old_blob)) John DeSoi, Ph.D. > On Sep 13, 2016, at 10:30 AM, BrianW <[email protected]> wrote: > > Not sure if this is the appropriate place to place this question.
