Aparajita,

I think we are all agreed that unicode mode is best....but I am intrigued as to why you asked the question initially.

Is there an advantage to you if Active4D doesn't have to support compatibility mode? Will it save you some development time/testing?

If yes I for one would be happy with no compatibility mode (at least in the first release) - that way we all benefit from having A4D v11 sooner.

Please note that Active4D v11 is ALWAYS in Unicode mode. You may not be able to access 4D process or interprocess text/string variables in Active4D if the database is in non-Unicode mode. I haven't tested this yet.

I have tested this now, and it's much better than I thought it would be:

In Unicode mode there are no restrictions on process/interprocess variable usage.

In non-Unicode mode:
- Text variables/arrays are read write.
- String variables/arrays appear to Active4D as text variables/arrays.
- If you declare a process/interprocess string variable/array in 4D, it is read only. - If you declare a process/interprocess string variable/array in Active4D, it is read write.
