Re: Explorer bottom toolbar not displaying...

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

I got 2 new monitors at work, moved from 22" -> 24" 
Now... windows that were previously (or never) opened on the 22" monitor now 
opens so that 1/2 is on one screen and 1/2 on the other...

Tim,
listbox columns etc are saved -- does this include list boxes that are 
dynamically built?
i.e. are simply empty place holders in the designer environment?

Re: V15 and SQL

[Robert McKeever via 4D_Tech]

Unfortunately, adding ‘ALTER DATABASE ENABLE TRIGGERS’ to the server startup 
routine did nothing.

Resource Pictures

[JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech]

I am going through a database in preparation for going to 64bi deployment and 
fixing all the pictures. Where do I find a picture resource listed in the 
Property list as…

Image titre liste/-2082

I should know this. ;-(

Thanks,

John

V15.2 to v17.0HF3 conversion problem

[Keith Goebel via 4D_Tech]

Hi all.
Just offering a headzup on a problem I encountered after upgrading a v15.2 
structure to v17.0HF3 on Win7.

A few of the checkboxes on my forms decided to change their action to Accept.
It came to light after user reports that clicking on a certain checkbox 
dismissed the dialog.

Wish I could say I found an easy way to locate the “bad" ones by using Find in 
Design, but I can’t - sorry - it was a purely manual “check every checkbox on 
every form” chore.
I found only 7 forms out of over a hundred that were affected, and only some of 
the checkboxes on those forms.
Cheers, Keith
