Hi all..

I am working in a IWP environment with FM 7.

I am wondering is it necessary to upgrade to FM 8?

What additional features and funtion and stuffs does we have in the FM 8 IWP?

Can someone share with me..?

Thanks a lot yeah

Tabbed layouts are easier to maintain that having to clone a layout and accentuate each tab accordingly ...by fm8 is it done without much trouble.

If you have gotten used to recursive scripting, can scripted loops now be controlled by $variables - which makes the scripting easier to to debug.

Datefields can be formattet as tiny calendars, as an extra feature beyond popups ...provides intuitivity to the user.

Tooltips makes it posible to provide contextual help to users in lack of a focus ...

Hi sd

So programmer will be actually benefiting from fm8 iwp? But how about its user friendly for users? or any other things else that make iwp more powerful?

Thanks~

The last two has nothing to the touch and feel the developer experiences - it's purely for the endusers benefit.
