Hi, I have created a tool that will convert all currently defined menus and items to a navigation-field instead.
I used it at a customer site to convert some 100 forms with menu bar defined. The navigation bar will retain the menu/sub-menu layout of the original menu. Your original menu-fields will be moved to the navigation bar and will retain their permissions etc. In other words you do not need to do anything with your active links. https://rrr.se/cgi/tools/main?tool=rrrMenuToNav Process: 1. Export all your forms to a all.def 2. Run rrrMenuNav.exe -i all.def -o nav.def -id {freefieldid} >forms.txt 3. Import the nav.def ontop of your forms 4. Go through the list of forms.txt to move and resize the navigation field in DevStudio The {freefieldid} should be replaced with the field id you choose for your navigation field on all forms. This field id should not be used today. Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se (ARSList MVP 2011) Ask the Remedy Licensing Experts (Best R.O.I.
