Thank you for your prompt reply!  I do appreciate it and this is 
certainly one of the reasons why I decided to use Rbase when
I recently started programming again.

Thanks again!

Bob,

01. Launch The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows

02. At the mighty R> prompt:

    CONNect Databas1 IDENTIFIED BY UserID Password

    SET NULL -0-

    -- To unload only one form
    OUTP Forms.FRM
    UNLOAD DATA FOR SYS_FORMS3 WHERE SYS_FORM_NAME = 'FormName'
    OUTP SCREEN

    DIR Forms.*

    -- You will see two files (Forms.FRM, Forms.LOB)

03. COPY those two files to the appropriate directory where the 
    new database resides.

04. Switch your current directory to that directory where the 
    new database resides.

    -- Make a backup copy of the database in this directory.

    CONNect Databas2 IDENTIFIED BY UserID Password

    SET NULL -0-

    -- To get rid of the old form
    DROP FORM 'FormName'

    INPUT Forms.FRM

There you have it.

Enjoy and make sure to have fun!

Very Best Regards,

Razzak.
