Link databases

Although I know you can load multiple IQ databases I wonder if it's possible to have a TAB in one database that links to a second IQ database so that the switching between them is transparent. Possibly even more databases linked via a T AB. Essentially they would all look like one database. 

Visual Basic: conditional on an item's parent

Hiyas!

Am currently using a mini VB script to color some items' backgrounds based on field values. The problem is that when I move them to become children, the field value I am basing this on is erased, so I would have to check whether the item's parent has that field value set (the items in question will only ever be demoted to second level so I'd only have to go up one level with the parent check).

How can I do that, please?

Here is the code I'm currently using:

Function CalendarColor(ItemColor, ItemIsRecurring, ItemInCalendar, A_Action)

Hello, I have been running IQ on a Windows machine for a few years. I have some team members who want to try it on their Mac. Has anyone had success with this? If so, would you be willing to help us work through the set up? I am not a Mac person and my team member is having some struggles with it. Thank you. Greg

How to get rid of "­"

When I paste text from an OCR'd pdf, I end up with a lot of "­"s (soft hyphens in original code).

eg "Supreme Court" becomes "Su­reme Court".

I'm trying to find a way to remove these without having to re-type each one.

InfoQube Find and Replace doesn't recognize them.

The only way I've found so far is to paste them into Word Pad to remove the formatting, but this replaces them with a dash, which still has to be removed. [update: doesn't work - the symbols re-appear later]
