Exporting and Importing of Tables

[Anisha]

Hi,

Does the importing of a table from another environment overrides a user's
default settings, (ie. they customised their form - moved the columns about)?

Thanking you in advance

I have found that many times it does, if you have added a new field or fields
to that table or modified an existing one. I have been lucky a couple of
times and it did not but I saw no reason as to why it did it in some
situations and not others.

Hi,

if you are only update table data i.e data in the custtable no usersettings
should be overridden.

The usersettings are store in the syslastvalue. If you update this table
with some other data the usersettings for forms, reports and so on gets
overridden. But when you are updating other tables all the usersettings
should be stil there.

But when you change something on the table definition like adding a new
field or you are importing a new version ob the form object itselve, it is
possible, that all the usersetting gets lost. This is because the stored
metadata of the current form doesn't match that one stored in the
usersettings (syslastvalue).

Hope this helps you.
