Kirk: I agree with you. Not many programmers can say that they maintained a programming environment for 3 decades with mostly smooth upgrades of not loosing past code all the way through. That in itself is a hats off time.
Lauruant and team are in a whole different level of programming than I am. I just know what I would like to be able to do to meet our client’s needs, and then pass that along to the team of wizards at 4D. They have been kind enough to listen to me before, and I am watching as they are delivering it. Of course I was not the only person asking - so I am not so naive to think they did it just for me. I think this is the biggest change in 4D since I got on board at 2.0.10. Fortunately we have be using ‘object’ code as much as we could for 20 years so the transition will be steep not as steep as it would have been had we not been using ‘object’ code before. It is exciting time to be coding in 4D. Jody > On Sep 24, 2018, at 4:18 PM, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Jody, > You are correct about the form editor.
