Matt,
Ok. Then I think the following will help some. While I am not sure I
can share my code, I think it is reasonable to discuss how I
approached the problem. So here are some of the comments I left in my
code to give you a few ideas about what you likely need to deal with
for your program.
"
// get connection to the source server (from xml config file I created)
// get connection to the target server (from xml config file I created)
// verify source form exists on the source server
// verify target forms exists on the target server
// verify source field exists on source form (sourceField)
// verify source field does not exist on target form
// point the field object to the target form. (setSchema)
// point the field object to the target server connection (setContext)
// do some validity checking that I think really should be done by the
ARS server, but apparently is not. (Sigh)
// verify all display instances apply for the target form views
// remove any that do not apply
// the source field has display instances
// get the view info for the target form
// verify that each displayinfo on the source field should be
applied to the target form
// field option (required, optional, display only) - verify against
form type too!
// Now to actually do the work: update target form
// make sure we still have a good connection.
sourceField.create(); // this actually creates the field
// verify field is now on the form
// this did not work at first. I guess due to the lag in all of
the
server threads seeing the field... so... connection must be set to use
admin thread...390600 and it now works.. cool!
// loop for next form and repeat above steps
// do not forget to logout
"
HTH
P.S. If you have specific questions feel free to ask them too. I am
sure I can talk about the API and what I know of how it works. :)

Thanks for the reply, i'm looking into developing an api in java to get
this done, at least it would be re-useable too.
