I was disappointed when 4D v18.1 was released and it did not include the missing Form Wizard in the Database Projects. I really want to use Projects because the code can be versioned as Ascii as normal for nearly all other code, but without the Form Wizard it is difficult. It also makes me wonder “what else” is missing. I wonder why this traditional 4D tool is missing.

I had created my v18 test databases as database projects instead of databases. Database Projects appear to be new and I’ll have to read up on them. I knew that 4D v18 was introducing a way to manage code in a non-binary format, but I did not know the details.

Database Project (also known as Project Mode) has no form wizard. Database (also know as Binary Mode) has the familiar form wizard: the gear button behaves as it did in v17 and earlier. To create a v18 database in Binary Mode, choose FILE -> NEW -> DATABASE, as shown in this screen shot: https://i.postimg.cc/mrsb44rY/2020-02-27-14-49-22.png Best regards, Jeremy French On Feb 23, 2020, at 10:01 PM, David Belote via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: Specific version is 4D v18 build 18.246707… The Gear button at the bottom of the Forms page used to provide options for using the Form Wizard. Now all it lists is “New Form” which provides the exact same functionality that the plus sign to the left of it has. Both of them just let a blank form be with no buttons or field chooser to pick from. Is that what others see as well? How do I fix this? ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
