Rick, A couple of ways you can do this . .. 1. Go to Applications list in the Admin Tool and double-click on the Application you want to import FROM. Click the Forms list and select your form, right click, export to file.
2. Go to the Applications list in the Admin Tool in the destination server and double-click the Application you are importing TO. Go To Tools>>Import Definitions and select your definition file. Import your form. Because you have exported from and to a deployable application where the form already exists, it will retain the appropriate permissions. OR In the admin tool, go to tools>>Export Application Choose your application to export (depending on the size of the app, it could take a while). After the export, go to the server that you want to import the form to. Go to tools and DO NOT CHOOSE Import Application. Just select Import Definitions and select the application def file you just created. Select the form you want to import and it will retain the permissions upon import. This seems roundabout as the export of the application could take awhile.

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.
