Thanks. From looking there it appears that I should be OK. The groups only had permissions set for one form and the rest of the tabs were blank.
Both groups had the same setup, just with different personnel. What I did was added all members from xxx_south to xxx_north and then renamed xxx_north to xxx_group. Everything I've checked so far seems to be ok. I'm just a little nervous about now making the changes on the production server (-: Thanks for the info. Andy L.

As a quick fix idea... Add all members of both groups to both groups. --> All members of A also become members of B. --> All members of B also become members of A. Then at a later time you can find all object references to B and replace that reference with an A. Then at an even later time (like when you get some free time) you can remove all users that are members from B. (Since it will no longer be granting them anything.) However, also be mindful of Field 112(Assignee Group, and the extended 60000-60999 field IDs) field values too. So do not just remove reference in the ARS Server objects. You might have workflow(set field values that were hard coded over the years) and data records that need updated too.
