The coming Designer 2.0 version uses a repository that is able to store triggers from reversed engineered(that is store the .fmb in your database and read it into the repository) forms. From there on you should be able to generate forms 4.5 forms and have good control over your old forms 2.3 code. Received on Thu Feb 05 1998 - 00:00:00 CET
