Dear Jesper,
I am running axapta 3.0 sp3. To simulate the situation I did some testing in a test-environment and in a development-environment. I created a new field for the table VendTable in both environments. In my test-environment I did it in the usr layer. In my development environment I did it in the var layer. Same name for the field. I entered data in the field for the records in my test-environment. I logged out of both environments. I removed the axusr.aod and related files from the test-environment application directory. I copied the axvar.aod and related files from the development-environment to the test-environment application directory. I started the axapta test-environment. Axapta then starts building the axapd.aoi, axapden-us.khi and axapden-us.ahi files. After that I logged in and checked whether the data entered previously was still there. I checked the field id, which was changed from 500001 into 300001. The data was still in the fields. regards, Danny --- In Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com, "Jesper Kehlet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your explanation is a little confusing: Did you do a synchronize in > your own environment?
