Hi,
I'm using WD9 US to write a small commercial application. Delivering date at
the end of this month.
Not knowing if WD9 US will be 'FINAL' before december, as it is still
a pre-version now.
Knowing that i can go back to WD8 US now, more difficult later on.
Knowing that i don't have real problems with WD9 US pre-version for this app

What should i do? Stay with WD9 or go back to WD8?
TIA,

I think it's the same version than the french one !
What is missing is a full english on line help and paper manuals !
Why don't you ask directly Pcsoft ?

Hi Peter
In the download section, PCSoft said ...
"WinDev 9 US is available in pre-version.
This pre-version enables you to create deployable applications."

G'day Peter
We swapped a full accounting app with 700 windows, 200 data files and 300 reports over to wd9 within 2 months of its release and have had no problems.
The proviso to that statement is that we do not stretch the envelope at all. The app has no OOP, no sql or queries, no mdi just standard procedural code using hyperfiles. We run multiuser on windows and linux servers with win2k, xp and terminal server clients.
Regards
Al

Hi Peter,
We moved our project to WD9 since a few months and had no problems with it.
I sugest that you keep on working in WD9.
I think WD9 is still a pre-version because it is not 100% translated in English. Don't use the Hyperfile Client-Server database. It is working quite good, but i think PC-soft has still some work to do (transactions,user-groupware,...).
Greetings,
Joris.

Hi nospam@nospam,
>Why don't you ask directly Pcsoft ?

Hi,
if you created the app under WD9, no problem to continue. I found some (more complex) queries that run fine under WD8 will not run in WD9. It would appear that there is an undocumented change of behaviour of HExecute(SQL)Query in that it returns control to the programme faster than before but of course continues to execute and read the result into memory in the background. The problem invariably happens if the query takes a while and the next command accesses the result, as I do to get info from other files in a FOR ALL loop. In some cases, it's possible to avoid the problem by delaying the programme by a Multitask command but I wonder whether that is such a good solution. Probably not, since one doesn't always know how long a query is going to take...
I have not found how to avoid the problems other than making multi-file queries which in these cases are incredibly slow. So, for the time being, I have to remain under WD8.
Best regards
Mat
