Yes, I know that the application redeployment retains the perms - but I'm trying to avoid having to re-deploy an entire application just because one form was updated, and I am holding to a (probably vain) hope that it might retain the perms if it already found them on the destination server. Importing the form changes and THEN re-deploying the entire app. doesn't sound like the improvement in the process that I'm looking for, since I could achieve the same effect by just re-deploying in the first place.
I guess what I'm saying is that I would expect that the initial installation of a DA should be via deployment, due to the fact that the forms and possibly the roles do not exist on the destination server, not to mention potential licensing issues. I mean, that encapsulation is the whole point of the DA. But why couldn't changes to the DA be migrated relative to what already exists on the destination server? If I already successfully deployed it, and have the licenses for it, why do I have to brute force an entire application redeployment just because 10% of it was modified? Rick On 9/25/07, L. J.
