New Functionality in 8 - Application Printers or Printer Virtualisation introduced (Ver. 8.0.0.992)

Printers as well as printing, has been a constant headache in DataEase for Windows.

It is called Memo Class for a reason, it is in combination they become powerful!

Imagine now that...

New Function in 8 - MemoChunk() function to unwind a Memo field (Ver. 8.0.0.1008)

We have now looked at a lot of functions that manipulate,extend, copy and append to a Memo field.

What about "normalising" it again. A lot of you traditionalist, don't and never will trust a memo field, and anyhow, even us "extremists" can't use traditio...

Changed Functionality in 8 - Virtual Memo fields allowed - Greatest feature so far! (Ver. 8.0.0.1009)

On thing that amaze me when I work with DataEase for Windows, is how "moralistic" it is.

New Function in 8 - MemoFind() - Returns the occourrence in a Memo of search. (Ver. 8.0.0.1038)
