I currently support a number of legacy applications on unsupported versions of 4D. In the past I supported an enterprise system centered on 4D which spent much of its 25 year existence on unsupported versions of 4D. If your app is stable and you don't plan on needing to use new 4D features it

There are lots of Javascript based charting libraries available. Many years ago I used Google Chart, which is now deprecated, to quickly move some server metrics graphs out of 4D Chart. Basically you pass the data to the library then it sends back the chart which you display in a Web Area.

I've noticed similar copy issues in RDP sessions. In my experience it has not been limited to 4D. Are you using Microsoft Remote Access for Windows or MacOS? I ask, because the MacOS version seems to be more stable and certainly has a better UX than the Windows version. Tom Benedict > On

Years ago when I had to do a screen pop from a phone system, I used the 4D OLE_Tools to handle an inter-application call from a .net app. It sent a payload which included the unique ID of a customer record in the 4D DB. There was a 4D process which listened for that call and automatically

Hi Chip, The trick with Excel is that it uses a 'soft return' within a cell. To get that soft-return within Excel you type Alt-Return (on Windows) or Control-Option-Return (on MacOS). I don't remember what the Character Code is for that character, but that's what you'll need to include in

I spent many hours sorting this out a few months ago. The file needed to be easily read by Excel (as in your case) plus it needed to be importable into SQL Server. I ended up creating a CSV with CRLF record delimiters. But I also processed the embedded soft returns in a way that escapes me
