In addition to the manipulations explained in the video, you should also note that:

When importing Boolean values (True-False in 4D), you can request an automatic conversion:

  • by going to the last tab of the Import dialog box
  • and specifying values such as "yes;no", "internal;external,", "Male;Female", etc.

4D automatically converts the imported data (the first value to True and the second to False).

You can also provide users with access to the import or export dialog box using the following commands:

  •  IMPORT DATA("")
  •  EXPORT DATA("")

When you perform an import using a form, the form contains the fields receiving the data. The entry order of the form must be the same as the order of the columns in the import file.
