Make sure you have ObjectConnect (5769SS1 option 22) installed on both systems, then check out the SAVRST commands. VERY cool. Also, I strongly recommend looking at putting in a good change management system, such as Softlanding's TurnOver (which we use), Aldon's CMS, or the one from MKS (mental block time on that one). They make managing the source and objects much easier, especially in a multiple system environment. I've been down the "roll your own" route with this stuff - you can make it work, but you'll never have enough time to make it really work well the way a good CMS package does. At least, I never did. --- Dave Shaw, General Nutrition, Greenville, SC To subscribe to the MAPICS-l mailing list send email to MAPICS-L-SUB@midrange.com The opinions expressed may not be my employer's unless I'm sufficiently persuasive... +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
