Select row in entity selection listbox

I have a form with two entity selection listboxes. One shows all messages ever sent from or to an account; the other, a list of that account’s contacts. When a message is selected, I want to highlight the appropriate contact. I can find the contact, of course; how do I find the row number so I c

v18 bug?

In v17 (Mac), double-clicking on a 4D database n Finder when 4D was running resulted in 4D closing the database it had open and opening the double-clicked database. In v18 (Mac), it takes two double-clicks for this to happen. The first merely switches into 4D. Can this be intentional? It’s rat
