Pat, I know this is an ancient thread but I wanted to know, what was the original problem that was solved by the xml-based structure rebuild?
I rebuilt one of my structures today via xml and it seemed to go smoothly. I knew I’d have to copy methods and forms.... lists were only selectable one at a time and menus seem to require rebuilding manually. I also noticed that all subtables were established as related tables only, no compatibility mode which is fine with me. The rebuild in my case did not resolve an ongoing problem but it was easier than expected and I was even able to open an old data file from v11, data intact.
