Hi,
Are you sure you are seeing the SchemaId in the definition file? I have
never seen that.
There should be no problem renaming the form name and reimporting.
I have done an almost identical thing where I used normal DEF-files as
templates, where the database-name of the template-fields represented the
"datatypes" of my input data.
FieldName;DataType
