It was Dani! Yeah, 4D is awesome at this stuff. We get upgrades old, old versions all the time and our current structure just opens these old data files, and 4d does its magic to uid them, unicode them, de'subtable them. no problem. > On Oct 18, 2018, at 2:19 PM, Robert ListMail via

I think the command you are looking for is the MKLINK command, it does require special permissions for some uses, but for components and plugins you can use the /J switch to symbolically link the folders. 4D Tech mailing list wrote > In house. Does it matter? > > Jeremy > > On 13 Oct 2018,

Christian, I *think* that the intent was to pass an ordered collection from process to process. i.e. - process 1 order the data in whatever manner is desired. - pass the collection from process 1 to process 2 - process 2 receive the ordered collection and do stuff with it, in the order in which

Robert, I am just taking on a project for a similar situation: v11 to v17. I haven't had a chance to really dive into the code yet so I'm not really sure what's there but at this point the client's intention is to essentially keep the database on 'palliative care' for the next 1 to 2 years when
