Hi All,

I am in the process of converting 32-bit code to 64 bit and using 4D Write

I would like to know if there is a replacement for commands for

WR EXECUTE  COMMAND
WR ON EVENT 

I have tried Invoke action but could not get it to work in 4D Write Pro.

Re: Import docx files in 4D Write Pro Area

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

There is a feature request here

https://discuss.4d.com/t/import-docx-in-write-pro/14014/2

You may want to join the discussion on the new forums. It would be a very 
useful feature, but much more difficult I suspect than export to that format.

I opened it with 6.7.4 and I was able to get in to the structure.  Weird.

I was able to see what the structure looks like and what I’ll have to watch 
for as I run it through the later versions.  I really only need to open it in 
6.0.6 to run Tools to make sure the data is in good shape.  I actually still 
have my licensed copy of DataCheck, so I’ve got a great tool for fixing and

Re: New Mail Command 17r6

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Hi Keisuke

The docs are incorrect or incomplete somewhere - probably in v18 or v18r2 - I 
will see if I can find this. I have been using this on the Mac for years, but I 
am not a big windows user and looked this up at the time.
The LiveDoc reference logged in has 18r2, 18, 17, 16 and not the last 17r6 - is 
there somewhere else that these can be accessed?
Similarly https://doc.4d.com/4Dv18/index.en.html gives the same

Feeling a bit stupid, but so glad it is sorted

Re: New Mail Command 17r6

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

I hope this helps someone. I have solved my problem -  a couple of hours taken 
however!

The following command will create PDFs on both platforms (as shown by the most 
recent language reference)
These are readable and printable
SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;2;$longDocName)

However I only get valid PDFs for EMAIL using the older code for MAC
SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;3;$longDocName)

I feel SO in need of a good set of printed reference documents for use when 
things are changing quite rapidly and now that V18 has come out v17v6 docs are 
not available on line.
I suspect this is a version difference.

Kind regards and thank you for all the suggestions

Fill in the above blanks so we know exactly what changed. 

A change to any one of these could case a PDF problem — particularly when 
you mix macOS and Windows. 

I have dealt with a case where using certain versions of Microsoft Print to 
PDF driver in Windows 10 will create a PDF that will not open with Acrobat 
Reader on Windows 10, but it opens fine on macOS. Exact same code and 4D 
version running on a different Windows 10 machine with a different version of 
Microsoft Print to PDF driver did not have the problem.

NOT
AT
ALL

we apologize for the inconvenience…

but in all seriousness:

Everybody is currently switching to other system standards.
Office 365 still supports imap/smtp with plain authentication, but that 
will go away as well.
We currently use office 365 vi Exchange Web Services, with MS OAuth2.
It was a pain to implement…
There is some good stuff from Keisuke concerning OAuth2, but a lot more 
needs to be done in order to continue using IMAP.
SMTP will live a little longer, IMAP will force you to switch from palin 
authentication to bearer authentication where you send a token.
It sadly requires interaction by the user from time to time, no idea if 
Google has any system for Admin impersonation in place like MS Azure does.

I might release component in the near future that does MS OAuth against 
Azure.

As for Google and others, I will have to find the time to get into that.

Cheers
Alex

Re: Getting emails sent by 4D to show up in "Sent Items"?

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Bob

Even in Microsoft Outlook it is common for sent emails to only be seen on the 
machine (phone, PC, Web, Tablet) that sends them, which is sometimes a real 
nuisance. The only way I have found to avoid this situation is to BCC or CC the 
emails to the origination. Is this a feature of Exchange Server I wonder.

I'm using Outlook and emails that are created by 4D (using my email 
address) do not show up in my 'Sent' folder. Of course, emails created in 
Outlook appear there.  Is there a way to have emails sent from 4D come into an

Re: v18 and 4D Write Classic - does it work ?

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

For the 4D write side of things I would use v17 r 4 (I think) 32 bit to 
facilitate using the two systems side by side in a fairly modern environment.
Not everything available in WP (v18) was sorted at that stage so I would make 
this an interim step as v18 seems fairly complete.

Hope this help

Hi

I’m going to be making the leap from v15 to v18. I think the biggest 
transition will be moving to 4D Write Pro as I have quite a lot of legacy 4D 
Write code to deal with.

In the meantime, does anybody have experience of migrating big 4D Write 
codebases ? What are the major gotchas ?

Will legacy 4D Write work in v18 in the meantime or do we need to migrate 
to 4D Write Pro to even run it ? (When I try it it invokes license privilege 
errors everywhere).

Many thanks for any tips

Peter

Re: Using ORDA - getting ONE entity from MANY Table

Using ORDA - getting ONE entity from MANY Table

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Hi ORDA users

I am starting to explore ORDA and with many false steps I have reduced some 
code to just a few lines which is great. However, I am struggling to extract a 
field from a related one table when working principally in the many table.


In the following selection – I cannot find the code to extract the field value 
from a related one table (Events is the many table) – I am building a calendar 
view with hmCal.

I have named my relation and looked at the various examples and cheat sheets 
and just can’t get to grips with this.



4D there would be a good place for a 4D ORDA manual like when SQL was 
introduced for those of us that are not full time at this!



I am sure I am missing something very obvious so any suggestions would be 
gratefully received!



Thanks

Re: Windows 10 Workstation error -10515 Failed to synchronize Resources Folder

I have restarted the server after deleting all the 'extras' in the database

no invisible or visible file which should not have been present, and it was a

There should be an option in the PRINTERS LIST command that causes 4D to

Should this be a feature request?

The License Manage reflects both:

4D Developer Professional v17 R4 —> February 2020

So looks good.

Now when I go into the Build Application Dialog -> Application Tab and…

The selection of Data Linking mode… doesn’t appear to make any difference.

any tips and gotchas to look out for will be appreciated.

Headers and Footers in 4DWrite Pro

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help– I suspect I am being daft.

I am starting to design some labels in 4D and there is by default a large 
header and footer meaning there is very limited space for the body text. I can 
remove the header and footer, but do not see how to increase the size of the 
body thereafter. In old 4DWr you would use the vertical ruler and it was a 
quick job when designing templates.

Re: Compact data file

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

What size was the file originally? Are there any BLOBS or Images in the data? 
It does seem odd.

A couple of ideas

I presume the records have been deleted and not marked as deleted

Have you tried experimenting with the settings in the advanced TAB (I can't 
remember if this is available in v13) - particularly 'Force updating of the 
records' and 'Compact Address Table' - but both options might have consequences 
if your structure has changed a lot.

What happens if you export the 6000 records and then re-import them into a new 
datafile - is there still a huge amount of space needed?

Using MSC I can to compact the data file, but the dimension remains over 
100.000 Kb, and is not real because

in the data file remain only 6.000 records. Data index is 700 Kb.

I try even to use recover by tags, but the result is the same.

Someone can explain?

Re: Sending Attachment

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Mike

I would change the path to Mac format - our code works with that as Jeffery 
mentioned
Also, the file name and path length need to be short to work - there seemed to 
be a change a few versions back and we had to change our code to meet this 
requirement
We also always send the content type parameter as well - not sure if that is 
important, but the receiver does get the right file

There was a discussion about this answered by Tim Penner when this cropped up 
before, but I can't find it at the moment

Re: PDF Creation on Windows under v16 -- Changed?

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Allan

Somewhere around v16r4–6 there was a change in the maximum file name length and 
path length that caused us considerable problems (we are Mac based and had been 
sending reports with enormous descriptive titles before this generated on the 
fly using 4D write and then attached to emails via 4D Internet commands). You 
might want to look at that for the sites where PDFs are missing, but the text 
of the email is correct.

Hi again,

After recently upgrading one of our vertical market apps to v16R6 (from 
v14), we're getting reports from several user sites that the (relatively 
simple) PDF reports that they've been emailing to their clients are now 
failing on a more regular basis.

Failure consists of:

a) attached PDFs not actually appearing at the email destination, or

b) some of the attached PDFs that do arrive are corrupt and are unreadable.


At this stage there seems to be a mix of both Win 7/8 clients using PDF 
Creator, and Win 10 clients using the built-in pdf writer (our software 
auto switches depending on the OS).

We know that there are SMTP Server, spam filter and ISP issues at work 
(as there always have been), and we're working through this trying to 
get more info, but it would be useful to know if anyone else noticed the 
appearance of more problems with PDFs under v16 compared with earlier 
versions?

Hey All,

This isn't related to 4D per se, but our 4D server is running a
mirrored RAID with two Samsung 850 Pro drives on Mac OS 10.13.x.
Recently I wiped the RAID and upgraded to the current OS from scratch
doing a clean install of everything. Now I am seeing a fairly
noticeable performance hit with write operations. I used to be able to
duplicate a 400MB file in s few seconds, but not anymore. I am not
running the new mac file system (APFS) on the RAID.

I'm thinking the SSDs need to be reconditioned. Any one have any
recommendations? (I can also connect them to a PC to do another wipe
if necessary.)

Re: Export text columns containing carriage returns to Excel?

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

Some ideas:
I would question the desirability of an excel file for these data, getting the 
data back out of excel will be more than a little fun.
 A text file with the LFs replaced with some unique code would be better for 
most purposes. Alternatively, you could pick some high ascii codes as your 
field and row separators as long as the other end can understand the data.

It may be easier to export as a 4D file and bring into a new database using the 
create table option so that you can do more sophisticated manipulation 
(presuming you can get into user mode).

I've been asked to provide an export from a legacy 4D system delivered as

The challenge I'm facing is that this table contains a number of text 
fields and the customer requires the imported column cells to retain the 
returns or line feeds in the original text fields. If I do a straight 
tab-delimited export with carriage returns as the end of line marker, the 
imported result does not preserve the original row because any returns 
encountered in the text fields are interpreted as end of row.

My other challenge is that I need to do this with out-of-box end user 
capabilities from a client (v15.4 remote) against a compiled server. I can't 
install plugins, create new methods, etc.
It has been many years since I've had to do this type of thing in 4D.

Can I replace the carriage returns in the text fields with a special marker 
during export? I could replace the Excel cells containing the any carriage 
return markers with actual returns after import.

Thanks,

Re: v17 PDF-Manuals

[UKVetDerm via 4D_Tech]

The original very large box of paper manuals with my first version of 4D 
(likely v3), having moved up first from Filemaker and then 4D light/first? was 
the way I got to grips with 4D.

The quality of the documentation for new adopters and so the continuation of 
the platform should not be under-estimated. For me HTML works well when you 
vaguely know what you are doing and need a quick check, but high quality PDFs 
would be great (like those for v6.5 for instance).
