Ferdinando , If you convert the Excel file to csv, you shouldn't have any problems with cells containing carriage returns/line feeds when you import into 4D. I assume 4D’s built-in import can handle csv files - I haven’t checked - we use special import and export code to handle csv so we don’t

So of course I got this working right after I sent this email... For anyone that is curious, when testing the new certificate I simply renamed the old certificate with a '~' prefix, leaving in its current directory.  Well, 4D didn't like this.  It was still seeing the cert and key files.

Hi All, I found the 4DPop_Constant_Editor for creating a new constants file. How do I edit one that already exists? I'd rather not use a text editor. (I looked at a custom constants .xlf file and the syntax did not seem overly obvious to me.) dave -- David Nasralla Clean Air Engineering

When exporting to csv from Excel, the cells that contain commas, double quotes and/or carriage returns will be wrapped by double quotes. The routine that is used to import csv file should be paying attention to the surrounding quotes and handling embedded returns. Any internal double quotes are

Pat, As I understand it, in a cvs file, all string values should be enclosed inside “. This means that a CR is simply part of the cell’s string. If you open the exported file with a text editor, you should see the CR enclosed inside “. If it isn’t, the Excel export is not working correctly. If

If you are using Numbers on a Mac, there is no way to export to a tab delimited text file, only CSV. Many have complained, but Apple does not listen. The work around is to select the content to be exported in Numbers and copy it to the clipboard. Then past into a plain text TextEdit document.

One reason to use a mailing service instead of 4D is - as I recently discovered - if you send a large number of emails in a batch (let's say more than 500) your service provider is likely to block them, as it may appear that your account has been hijacked by a spammer. I'm not familiar with
