also - you can include comments in the constants if you want for example: Create_Folders the text inside the pair are comments so you can document your xlif file inside the file. I modified 4Dpop to allow the entry of these comments Chip > On Jan 18, 2021, at 5:10 PM, Keisuke Miyako

Hi Folks Using 4D 18 r4 windows. Working great until recently; then suddenly lost the ability to autocomplete constants - both 4D and custom - in the method editor. Commands, methods & macros still autocomplete. Constants tokenize properly when full name entered. Any idea what's up & how to fix?

Ken: Chuck pointed out that you didn't have access as designer (I just skimmed the email yesterday), rather you have access "to the design environment". The empty U file is worth a try but as Thomas implies, perhaps there's no significant downside to leaving the current situation as is. I've

Hi iNug rebells, ;-) It’s time for some content/questions/tipps/voodoo/ etc. Background: I have to deal with lots of invoices from multiple vendors coming in every day. Most of those invoices have only one invoice line on that A4 paper. Fortunately the invoices arrive also as PDF-attachments to
