* Replacing existing project templates with new ones from template definitions

[Gary_G]

I plan to import several databases from RM9 and same only select templates from each. Selected templates will be added to the master templates in FH7 and the original project deleted. Once I have my library of master templates compiled in FH7 and do a "real" import of my projects, the real work begins. Can someone point me to where I can read about how to replace certain imported project-level templates with ones (containing the same field-names, but not necessarily the same field-type) from my library of master templates. This is necessary, since I will have to (as a minimum) tweak the imported master templates in FH7 to make some text fields into URL fields.

I think you should be able to use the standard synchronisation tools:

Use the Tools > Source Template Definitions... command, select a Template and use Compare/Sync with Source Template Record which should work if the definition and record names are identical and the field types are changing from Text to URL.

Thanks, Mike.
Yes, the only change I really need to make is to change some of the field types from Text to URL. RM9 doesn't have that field type, but I've set up the RM9 templates, so I could hopefully do this conversion.
