Hi, To compare forms to find data field differences, you can use our RRR|DefFieldDiff tool with the following settings: rrrDefFieldDiff form.def archive.def -new -rename "Ticket" "TicketArchive"
https://www.rrr.se/cgi/tools/main#rrrDefFieldDiff One way of solving archiving is to use RRR|Chive. One good thing about using RRR|Chive is that the original Entry-Id-Field will still have Field-Id 1, and the original Entry-Id is retained. https://www.rrr.se/cgi/rrrchive/main Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se > Ron, > > I was hoping that the Archive feature would keep the forms in sync but > it appears that there is a definite problem. > > I don't know why I never actually used workflow since I use history > forms to track changes.
