- After doing my first project with 4th Dimension, I noticed that my
- databases has more than 40 layouts!!! Is that normal?
-
- How do you control the consistency for all the layouts? I find it
- difficult to even copy and paste between similar layouts becuase every
- field has unique scripts/lists/manditory options which should not be in
- other layouts. The entry order gets messed up, etc...so the gui is a
- very nasty thing to deal with.
-
- How do you people deal/reduce the amount problems with GUIs? Just for
- the sake of curiousity, what other problems should I watch out for when
- modifying GUIs?
-
