Hi Chip,
My particular 4D application is a 4D Server/4D Client that is compiled and
merged with 4D Volume Desktop. They operate differently than 4D separately. So
your above code works in your situation, but it does not in mine. Trust me.
I’ve spend HOURS working on this and it DOES use a “.mdp” file and NOT a
‘.4dlink” file.
Is your application compiled and merged with 4D Volume Desktop?
