David, I may be wrong, but my understating is that the RFF file contains the whole form definition. You can use it without a DB connection.
Following that logic, no unload/load is necessary because it is not stored in any db. I would say copying over the RFF file will work as expected.

Dear R:Base friends - I also posted this question a week ago. It's possible someone sent me an answer but I never received it - for some reason I received no messages from the list for 2 days thereafter and then as mysteriously as it stopped, deliveries started again. So here it it again: I know that when you want to replace one version of a normal form with another, you need to: OUTPUT FormName.FRM UNLOAD DATA FOR SYS_FORMS3 WHERE #1 = 'FormName' OUT SCREEN Then on the client side, you must DROP FORM FormName RUN FormName.FRM With an external form file, am I correct that all you need to do is send the FormName.RFF file R:Base creates and have it overwrite the existing file?
