1. Passing text and large numbers through Shared Database

[ghandley at kc.rr.com]

Good evening James,

I'm just now having a chance to read your reply, and yes, a unit's properties are exactly what David wants to pass.

Can you send him a URL to it, or does it still need some work?

Thanks, this will be a big help to us and anyone else who has a shared DB and needs strings and dates as well as numbers shared.

Thanks again, and best wishes,

George

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.

Everything is now properly shared between those targets regardless of type. Dates should go across properly too.
