Passing text and large numbers through Shared Database interface

James,

Are you any closer to releasing the next version that will have what David needs, or even test code to have him confirm that it's working?

Thans,

George

Where are these values that aren’t working? Are you talking about the value of a unit that if it’s above a certain amount doesn’t get through properly? You can’t send strings through a unit value so perhaps you’re doing something with unit properties? I’m away from my desk at this moment but will do some further tests with the shared database system shortly.

If you do mean unit properties then it’s possible that I’ve already got that fixed as I just did an almost complete re-write of that sharing capability under the hood for the next version. Everything is now properly shared between those targets regardless of type. Dates should go across properly too.

Thanks,
