Hi Ben!
I don´t understand https://www.matrixtsl.com/temp/FC7_Latest_Files_ 26-02-17.zip I have some newer


I imagine it is: https://www.matrixtsl.com/temp/FC7_Latest_Files_ 26-02-18.zip

If it is correction´s for 26-02-18 does it contain ALL the previus correction, Please.

Hi Ben,

Should there be a file associated with this post?

Matt

[medelec35]

Hi Matt,
The latest file is always the file on the very first post.
If you look at the file name it will have the date it was last updated.
Currently, at the time of writing, the file is named:

Code: Select all

https://www.matrixtsl.com/temp/FC7_Latest_Files_01-10-18.zip

It just saves having multiple files that are out of date and taking up valuable server space.

[Benj]

I apologise if this is posted in the wrong section.
is it possible to still download the full FlowCode V7.3? I would like to run as a trial for problem solving.

Many thanks!

Hi Blinky,
If you want to run a trial, then you will need to download a free 30 day trial of Flowcode V8
