Hi Doug, I’m pretty sure that the .4W7 format for 4D Write arrived long before v15, so you should be OK. You can confirm by creating a Write document on disk and seeing what extension is assigned.
You can also validate your conversions by having both a Write Classic and a Write Pro area on a form so you can visually compare them. I found that built my confidence in the conversion process. Or course, you’ll need to be using a 32bit version of 4D to do this. Another this to keep in mind that the blobs may be compressed, and, if so, will need to be uncompressed prior to conversion. Other than that, WP New makes conversion pretty easy. You may already be aware, though, that if you are doing any custom configuration or formatting under program control in Write Classic, all of that will need to be re-written in Write Pro.
