***** I THINK DIFFERENTLY --- SOMETIMES THAT IS GOOD -- SOMETIMES NOT ******
Yes - I could just go in and save as... However -- this is a small part of a larger project…. Autogenerate Remedy forms form Lotus Notes forms - :) 1) Auto create table 2) Auto migrate data 3) Auto delete Notes table 4) Party!!! My ***guess*** is that the index references are "unused" (not sure about that) -- but -- if I were to take this def to a new system -- which already had a T189/I189 -- I would imagine this definition would not overwrite those indexes… -- so it is probably safe…. I was wondering if anybody KNEW -- that this was a bad idea. Here is the fundamental problem -- when I export a def of a form -- I get 12500 lines… (IMHO - unusable) Yeah -- probably has 20 fields on it -- but the xml is so crazy it takes 12500 lines to describe… So -- WHAT IF I … created something like this: my_sample_file.txt table "MySample Table" field "RequestID", 1 field "Submitter", 2 … field "My unique field", 0 # 0 is autoassigen field "MY unique field2", 0 index ["My unique field","My unique field2"], unique etc…. Then -- when your "run it" -- it outputs a HORIFICALLYLARGE XML file -- that would import nicely. **** AND EVEN NICER …. you can get the reverse… a table - to a nice definition -- so you can EASILY FIND -- ??? (I know - many pieces behind the scenes) OK - an example: table "MySample Table2" inherits_from "MySample Table" field "My unique field3", 0 index ["My unique field","My unique field3"], unique -John On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 9:30 AM, Coleman, Gavin < [email protected]> wrote: > ** > > Can you not just select the form and then go to FileàSave As?
