This page contains all of the Foundation 4 Components. You can download and use these components
to update an existing Foundation 4 database, or you can install one or more of them into any 4D 2003 or 4D 2004 based
database to give it new functionality.
You don't need to be a registered Foundation developer to use these files. If you don't have an
activation code yet, these components will operate for 30 minutes to allow you to try them. |
