[Quoted] We develop on NT machines and save the forms to the UNIX server via a SAMBA [Quoted] connection. The .fmx file is then generated on the UNIX server. I am 100% [Quoted] sure that the forms do not get saved to the database first. I believe that [Quoted] the .fmb file is platform independant.

Just make sure that when you transfer the fmb file, you do a binary transfer [Quoted] and not an ASCII transfer. Received on Mon Jan 15 2001 - 03:46:05 CET
