- MSI Access provides client/server functionality for 4D now.
- It comes with an API toolset that allows you to create Hypercard,
- Pascal and C clients. You can even create a Windows client.
-
- Wait for the 4D Server. It is much faster than MSI Access/4D client server.
- It is also much easier to implement and support. 4D Server APIs will support
- Hypercard and Windows-based clients.
