What would cause PROCESS 4D TAGS to "not work"

Tony, You can perform ad hoc sql queries directly from another copy of 4D. There’s probably an old tech note that has an example database. I know I modified an old db recently to just this thing. I think I started here “4D v11 SQL Assimilator" https://kb.4d.com/assetid=75182 or if you have MS
