Hi, The Data Wizard is a good choice, as it knows the important places where you need to change Login ID, it is also fast, as it performs the updates directly in the database.
RRR|LoginConv is very complete, but takes a lot of time to run, as it has to read each and every record in your system to decide where updates are needed. It updates things like Status-History, Diary-Fields and 60xxx/112 fields where the Login Name is sometimes used. You can limit this by specifying fields and forms, but in this case you need to know where updates may be needed. Another good thing with RRR|LoginConv is that it can update multiple login names in a single run. It could be 10, 100 or 1000.
