Re: Error Can't load component "Foundation_560.4DC".

John: A couple things come to mind. The version of Foundation that I’m using with V17 is 5.7. I think 5.6 will work with the exception with how images display in the toolbar. Walt will be the best source of info on that. I have hit issues with components when they’re compiled only for 32-bit.

Re: 4D Write Pro: License or privilege error

John: "And "$wpDoc:=WP New” generates the same error.” OK, understood. That’s an error because it should be returning a 4DWP object. My question about passing an empty BLOB stems from the docs which indicate that you can’t pass a parameter that doesn’t have content. I suspect that would give an

Re: 4D Write Pro: License or privilege error

John: When I look at the docs for WP New, $1 is a optional parameter. If passed as a BLOB, the content of the BLOB should be either a 4D Write Pro document or a 4D Write document. It doesn’t appear that an empty BLOB is acceptable as a parameter. I might have missed it in the earlier email but is

Re: Managing 4D Server as a service

John: I have one system that’s a built app that runs as a service. Maybe this applies to your situation. When I put out a new structure, I launch the app by choosing the .exe, do a right mouse and select “Run as administrator”, select the datafile, and let the app launch. Once it’s running, I

Re: Custom Form Events

Chris: "I prefer to reduce the number of Project Methods” My thoughts about programming were strongly influenced by McConnell and a few others. None of them discuss limiting the number of methods. Their focus is on when and why to create a method and how those routines interact. If reducing the
