Jan & Albert: While I can overthink better than anybody on this list, I prefer to use the tools as you do. I'm just taking advantage of an UNLOAD ALL situation to apply a new naming convention before the app gets too big to change.
Just never touched the SYS_FORMS and SYS_REPORTS sections before; perceive an opportunity to really break things. As ever, I appreciate your assistance and perspective.

It will relink all the forms, reports and labels. You can then go into the database manager and click on "Forms" and do a search for each name. It will bring up every form eep for you. You can do the same for reports, labels and stored procedures. Double click whatever shows up, then do a global search and replace {Shift][F7]. The system will remember your changes and make life fairly easy. This is how I do it. Albert On 11/20/2013 11:08 AM, Bruce A.
