We began to use 4Dimension several weeks ago. The first implementation was used in our Denver office for a way to keep track of artwork and contracts in our Production department. Very little programming was done. We took full advantage of the menu system set up in User Mode. The response we have gotten from the users have been pretty good with the only gripe being, if more than one person wants to access the same record, it tends to freeze up until the first user is done with that record. Another problem is the initial transfer of information into this database. It can take up to 12 hours depending on the information. The good responses have been a variety. Excellant search times. Nice looking reports. Etc, Etc. We then decided to use the software in our collections department in Denver as a test place. The screens have been set up by one of our excellant programming specialists and through all the tests have proved to be excellant. My final recommendation, if you have the personnal that knows how to work in C and Unix, can definetly take full advantage of this softwares capability. The multi-user aspect also is a nice feature.
