version 6.8 (Modified)
The Windows version of 4th Dimension allows you to work with OLE (Object Linking Embedding) objects in your layouts. In addition, OLE objects can be automatically saved and loaded from BLOB or picture fields.
Note: OLE services for 4th Dimension are only available under Windows.
An OLE object can contain any type of data created and handled by Windows OLE applications such as the Windows Paint desk accessory. In addition to the regular 4th Dimension data types (such as Alphanumeric, Numeric and so on), OLE services for 4th Dimension let you store and manage any data type created in Windows, including multimedia.
If you use a Windows word processor or spreadsheet that implements OLE services, you will be able to directly store documents from these applications in your 4th Dimension databases. For example, with the powerful database features of 4th Dimension, you will able to create customized archiving systems for storing, retrieving, and tracking your documents.
