Example: Transfer Ownership of Forms to Another User
Assume the user john wants to transfer ownership of the forms named customers and parts in the database mydb to the user dba. The following commands, entered at the operating system prompt, accomplish this:
copyform ‑ujohn mydb forms.txt customers parts
copyform ‑i ‑udba mydb forms.txt
For a complete description of the flags and parameters for this command, see the copyform entry in the Command Reference Guide.
At this point, there are two copies of each form, one owned by the user john and the other owned by the user dba. In the usual case, John’s forms are no longer needed and can be removed in Visual Forms Editor.
