I was a little dissapointed with Apex 4.0 because of an error from the previous versions that was not fixed. It’s the limit of 30k from the text input items. I know there is a workaround for this error (using Ajax, as I remember), but I commonly get this error when trying to edit a Report Layout. I design complex layouts in XSL-FO (I even developed an APEX application that helps me design layouts) and I frequently get the error when uploading layout bigger than 30k. I haven’t found a workaround for this and it limits the PDF printing in APEX very much…

Regards,
George

Unfortunately much of the new features are related with the interface. Very important should have been the posibility to make easy MASTER- DETAIL- DETAIL-DETAIL—- formulars and have posiblöity to change items and SAVE THEM ALL once. Much like was in Microsoft ACCESS. simple to define formulars and subformulars… link them and have one button to save them all. I think that simple but essential functionality is not easy possible with APEX even version 4. Personally i don’t have not so much interest in features like “interactive regions”. I want simple to make details link them and present.. and making a simple report based on table with BLOB columns is a nightmare. i think that this simple but powerful functionality should be the priority for the development team….

I have to say that I like this new interface mode too, so far. I played for a couple hours and found I adapted very quickly. The right-click to get at most of it was okay, not spectacular. But the mouse-over pop-up context info is great, as is drag-n-drop reordering of objects.

I’ve found a number of minor features that are either broken or not completely implemented, mostly in the new Team Development section, which I’d expect. I entered lots of Enhancement Requests there.

Overall I’m very pleased.
