Hi all
I would like to rename my app. The most prudent method would be to copy my existing app to the new appid which is probably quite simple - if you knew how? Repository function perhaps (approw COPY?)
Any thoughts?

Robert,
This depends on how many items you have in your application. The best approach we've discovered, for large applications, is to create an RDK and then write a utility that replaces all occurances of your original application name with the new application name in the RDK files. Then create the new application and load the RDK entities from this modified RDK.
We now have a custom utility we use all the time for this purpose. Because we generally use the same initial MDI frame and lots of supporting routines/utilities, it became worthwhile for us to invest time in making this utility work flawlessly. Now we are able to create a new application loaded with all of our essential application components within 5 minutes.
