I need to work on all CUSTOM objects only. Migrating objects from 7.1 to 7.6.04p003 directly with devstudio is working only for the new objects i.e., if the objects are not yet present in 7.6.04. I mentioned about RRR|Chive incase if I need to delete the forms in 7.6.04 before reimporting. If the object already present in 7.6.04 either as CUSTOM or BASE then the objects in 7.1 definition needs to converted to same type before we can reimport it into 7.6.04. I was able to convert the objects in 7.1 def file to CUSTOM using your tool and import inplace the new def file into 7.6.04 using devstudio. Thanks you tool is indeed very helpful.
