Dear all,

Here’s a spring DataFlex newsletter.

DataFlex 2022 has been released, if you have not already read the news then you can find them here.

If you need to update the DataFlex application to 64 bits, the Structure Padding Helper Tool is a superb tool for use in that process. You can read more about it at the following link.

If you are unable to update to DataFlex 2022 yet, a new build of DataFlex 2021 has just been released. Data Access recommends that you download the 2021 Build.

The countdown to the DataFlex User Conference 2022 is underway.  
The registration for EDUC 2022 has been overwhelming and we are close to being fully booked. We are looking forward to a great conference in Iceland. You can stay updated at the following link.

We are very proud to receive the following quote from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. The quote concerns the Compensations system, which is developed by Sture Aps in DataFlex.
“We would not be where we are today, had it not been for DataFlex. The applications based on DataFlex facilitated the payment for 6,500 recipients totaling DKK 4 billion. This is not only due to fast and competent consultancy, but also an efficient development environment in DataFlex, which has been able to support our wishes for the applications. DataFlex has supported our agile approach in the development work, and we have therefore saved both time and costs. We have ended up with a very satisfactory result of high quality and with very satisfied users”
– Head of Division for the Compensations Unit Merete Roos – April 2022

Welcome to Mikkel Vig, who is our intern. He will primarily learn how to develop in DataFlex. We are happy to have you join the team Mikkel :=)

Remember to stay up to date by watching the weekly video with Johan. The current theme is Data Dictionaries, which is examined in detail by Johan in his quirky way.

You can stay informed about EDUC 2022, 2^nd – 3^rd June on Twitter, #EDUC2022

Dear all,

We want to start out with a good story, because we have experienced an increasing interest in DataFlex at a time when solutions need to be developed agile without long project meetings. It’s great and we look forward to DataFlex 2022 being released soon.

DataFlex 2022/20.1 Release Candidate
DataFlex 2022 focuses on significant additions to the user interface of Web and Windows applications. New classes with improved functionality in web apps. Right-click on user designed menus and multi-item menus are, among other things, now supported in DataFlex version 2022. You can read more about this here.

New Channel Partner for DataAccess South Pacific.  Welcome to Marco Kuipers and his team in Australia. The company 28 IT has been a DataFlex house for many years. Now they get the opportunity to help grow DataFlex in Australia and the “surrounding area”.  Read more here.

Jakob Kruse from Sture Aps has developed a collection of custom components that implement different web APIs. It is a very useful and smart thing for any DataFlex developer. He has put them out for free usage on Github. THANK YOU to Jacob for his efforts.

European DataFlex conference EDUC 2022 will be held in Iceland. Remember to tick the calendar on June 2^nd and 3^rd. If you also want to participate in the workshops then tick the two days before of too, 31 May and 1 June. More about EDUC in a later newsletter.

The next newsletter will deal with DataFlex 2022.

Dear all

The year is coming to an end, and we had probably all hoped that 2021 would be the year we could put Corona behind us. We were incredibly lucky that we managed to hold SCANDUC with physical attendance. It was a very successful conference with highly technical features provided by Data Access and DataFlex users. PowerPoint shown at the conference can be downloaded here.  Impressions can be seen on this link.

BIG THANKS to Data Access for their help and help in making SCANDUC the success it was.

Data Access has released beta 2 of DataFlex 2022. Beta-2 is “feature complete” and ready to test with your applications. Read about the news on this link or download beta-2 on this.

It may be a good idea to use the Christmas holidays for something useful, which could be, for example, to look at our “How To” DataFlex with a twinkle in the eye :=)

DateTime TimeSpan and Time variable types
Date variable type in DataFlex

Dear everyone

Happy New Year!! I don’t think that can be said too often in these times.

DataFlex 2020 (2021) Beta 3 can be downloaded at the following  link. Despite Covid-19 and isolation, Data Access has worked hard on the development of the new generation of  DataFlex. And we can expect a release within the next few months. Despite Beta, several of our customers, including ourselves, are already developing in 2020/21.

We can recommend our Thursday video just released on YouTube. Here Johan talks to Albin Visén from Prosmart AB in Sweden about current migration of their entire ERP system to DataFlex version 2020 (2021). It is an exciting and inspiring talk that you can have great pleasure and inspiration from listening to. Thank you to Albin for his contribution. If there are any questions, please contact Albin

Redaction Library for web applications.
Data Acces has built a new layer of security into DataFlex 2021. In order that the same security features will benefit earlier versions, Data Access has developed ‘Redaction  Library’ for web versions  18.2 and 19.1. For more information and download click on the following link.

5 good suggestions on what mistakes many make when they develop in DataFlex WebApps. Another informative video posted on the  DataFlex learning page. We recommended to watch it.

A good story continues…
Our story in the previous newsletter about how quickly a system was developed in DataFlex for use in addressing a ministerial institution in a very necessary situation. This has generated so much attention that Data Access Worldwide has written about it. Read about it at the following link – it’s (also) a good story.

We will be able to provide a newsletter shortly, where we will take a closer look at the new features of the upcoming DataFlex version 2021.

Many greetings
