Hmmm...to tell you the truth, I don't know. As most of you know, I
inherited Foundation from Dave Batton. I guess I'll have to ask him if
he started Foundation 5 in v11 or not.

Interestingly, I just tried starting a NEW database with v11.4 and
there are some MORE missing Design Compatibility checkboxes.

In addition to the ones reported missing in Foundation:

Execute QUERY BY FORMULA On Server
Execute ORDER BY FORMULA On Server
QUERY BY FORMULA Uses SQL Joins

are also missing.

OK, now things are just getting weird! I just tried creating a new
Database from Template from the File menu. I selected the Event
Manager template.
THIS database has ALL the checkboxes available in Design Compatibility.
In looking through the folders inside the Mac package, the only
difference I can see is that the Event Manager database has a
Resources folder has a folder named English.lproj containing a single
file called ResourcesEN.xlf

Now for the reason for all this. I want to make sure that Foundation
has the checkbox for Unicode checked since that needs to match what
the HOST database has for that checkbox.

Now that I think about it, if someone upgrades a structure to v11 and
leaves Unicode Mode turned off - How am I going to allow them to turn
Unicode Mode off in Foundation if the checkbox isn't there?

Any thoughts on how to get these checkboxes back?
