If I have understood you right, you want to change the name of the company across the application?
I had done this what may be considered the ‘dirty way’.. DB level.. I had written a script to find me all the forms which had fields that had the company name as an equal match.. And I had created a stored procedure to change a companies name and used this in a configuration form that was used to change a companies name globally in a system.. We didn’t care about instances where the company name might have appeared within a string.. So it worked quite accurately and to the best of my knowledge had taken into account all the fields exposed to users that had company names in it as I do not recall any calls related to it from users complaining that the name didn’t change.. The stored procedure took a good 5 to 10 minutes to run for each change..

I'm thinking I can leverage this by exporting the SRD and associations, and then importing into the same environment but picking the new company as -Global- Any ideas?

By default, the SRD, PDT, and AOT forms each have the company field set to RO. Has anyone ever done this before and if so, are there any other supporting forms involved in changing the Company? The options I'm thinking are to find the AL that makes the field RO and disable it temporarily so I can modify the Company directly. The other option may be to export and re-import with the updated Company. -- Tauf Chowdhury -- Tauf Chowdhury _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
