Sunday, July 5, 2009 Tip of the Day #5: Copying Forms, Labels, and Reports in R:BASE 9.0 Version: R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 Build: 9.0.1.10701 and higher Section: Features and Enhancements
Did you know that you can copy any number of selected Forms, Labels, and Reports from one R:BASE 9.0 database to another R:BASE 9.0 database by simply copying [Ctrl+C] from the source database and pasting [Ctrl+V] to the destination database while both databases are connected as two separate sessions of R:BASE 9.0? You can use the same techniques of copying and pasting between R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) and R:BASE 9.0 (32) sessions as well. In addition, you may copy any number of selected Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, Forms, Labels, Report, External Forms, and Command Files from R:BASE 9.0 Database Explorer to any folder or even your desktop, by simply dragging and dropping the selected item(s). Hint: While copying and pasting, make sure that both sessions of R:BASE 9.0 are using the similar modules in Database Explorer. For example, copying Forms from one Database Explorer to another Database Explorer you will have to make sure that the Forms section of the destination database is opened before pasting the forms. Thus, Forms to Forms, Labels to Labels, and Reports to Reports, and so on. Imagine the Possibilities! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
