By coincidence, I am cleaning up a v14 database for deployment this afternoon
as a v16 R4 database. A couple of thoughts on your question…
> _o_Extras Folder
The extras folder was deprecated in v11 I think with instructions to
use the Resource folder.
> The other 9 entries relate to List Box constants:
As for the List Box commands, you should be able to find suitable replacements
in the List Box theme in the docs
I had several hundred _o_ items in my databases and was able to replace all of
them except 1. The easiest way I have found to do this is with Find In Design
and Replace in Context. For example.
Find in Design: _o_
Finds 100 calls to_o_STRING(20;$whatever)
Find _o_String(20;
Replace in Content: TEXT(
The one that I am conflicted about is _o_During. I would really like to keep
this one and have done so in other databases that I have deployed, but it makes
me nervous doing so. Anyone else feel the same. It is hard to replace in some
cases as During was a catch all event that was and is remains useful in certain
situations. Being a catch all, it is difficult to determine what Form events to
use to make sure in the replacement. I guess I could just use an Else.
I know it was not recommended to use During even when it was not deprecated,
but if anyone else has used it, how have you managed it now that the form event
has been deprecated.
