Hi Fred, LJ, et al., Fred, we're on MS SQL. I see the table name in the View Info tab of the form properties but it gives no clue as to the database & server.
LJ, you suggested the XML version of the table definition would show the old connection. I exported to xml and there is no evidence of the database name or the database server name in the resulting file. I exported workflow database calls to discover the old server name. However, knowing that doesn't help me change it in an ARS-friendly way. Thanks again for any suggestions on where/how to change the view form's target database.

In the Admin tool the Form Properties -> View Information tab lists the source for the data (in the Table Name field). What database are you using?

That database needs to move to a different server. I've never had to do this before. This is on ARS 7.1 patch 6. I've looked through the manuals & I see where the path is set when creating a view form. What I don't see is where & how to change that path for an existing view form. I've queried the schema_view table and don't see it there. I've exported a def file and don't see it there. How does one do this? Must I re-create the view form (and everything that references it)?
