I have a method that recursively deletes records from related tables.
Something like this (vastly simplified):

Pat,
I am less familiar with named selections...I am assuming that they
operate in a similar manner to sets (see below).
With sets:
-$setname is a PROCESS set, and is NOT available on server
-setname is a process set + is available on server
-<>set name is an interprocess set, and (I believe) is

Hi Pat,
There is no such thing as a local named selection. That is just a named
selection name that begins with a "$" character. A leading $ in a string has a
meaning for a local set name, but that just means the set is only on the client
and not the server. See

Jim,
Miyako's post is a concise primer for modern 4D forms. Being able to pass a
pointer to a dynamic form variable to another process, even one running on
the server, is a great feature and one I've been using for several years.
Let me share a couple of things I've learned doing this:

If you are looking for a place to park your own hardware, I have had a server

We’ve been looking at converting a pretty complex system with form letters,
paragraphs, lots of imbedded fields, hot links and html expressions. It looks
like a huge job just trying to convert the old docs. We think the rewrite will
take more effort than the original development.

One thing I found to be very helpful was to see how the WriteLike tool bar
available via the blog does things. Most things we do programmatically in write
or pro are done via the tool bars buttons and menus as well. So often when I

One solution for this is to just create a "stub" plugin that does nothing
except load properly on 64 bit. Then copy all of the 4D Write resources to it.
That way you can keep the old code around as long as you need it for reference.
I think I did it by finding a small 64 bit plugin and then

.doc is probably an issue as it is a proprietary format from MS.
.docx might not be such an issue as it is "open" and is supposed to be
based on xml.

Hi Richard,
4D Write Pro is a newly developed architecture. There are no cross references
of 4D Write Pro commands from 4D Write. We have resources to convert 4D Write
docs to 4D Write Pro. Also, we have resources of 4D Write Pro in doc.4d.com,
blog.4d.com, and kb.4d.com for the transition

Nope, it is true. For this version. I have 2 clients that are big 4D Write
users (one with a 90 user license) and use 4D Write to create Word documents.
I've asked
In our case, users have created about 1,500 template documents in 7 languages.
I’d be lynched if I didn’t provide a path to convert them.

4D Write had an an export to RTF option which worked with MS Word. That was the
main reason we used 4D Write. Until 4D Write Pro has an .rtf or .doc export
option we will be unable to use it. This is an essential feature and we can
only hope that it arrives quickly.

with a few exceptions the existing write documents are not supposed to be

That’s what I was afraid of. Does it not occur to anyone at 4D that people have
existing code to manipulate 4D Write documents and that that code has to be
rewritten to work with 4D Write Pro? The lack of a command cross reference
makes the process unnecessarily difficult and maybe you end up
That’s a great idea, Tim (and I remember you showing me that code). It might
not be that much work for us to do for the subset of 4D Write commands that we

Hi Chip,
Thanks for the clarification.
In our case .docx and / or .rtf would be acceptable. We don't need .doc
specifically.
We need something which could be saved as a stand alone document and easily
opened and edited within MS Word.
Thanks again,
Mike
