    Newbie here…

    Unable to find this in the educational material (manuals, tutorials)…

    When I first started using Tapforms I set up a forum in the default “Sample forms” DB. Can I move this form from “Sample Forms” to my new “JBForms” database? if so how?

    You can use File > Export > Form Template to export the form without any of the data. You can then import that into another document using File > Import > Form Template.

    You can then use File > Export > Records to export the records within the form and then File > Import > Records to move them back in.

    I’d actually recommend using the Export Tap Forms Archive command to export your template including all the records, photos, attachments, etc. Then import into the new document.

    The Export Records and Import Records function are great for sharing the data between different applications, but if you’re just moving from one Tap Forms document to another, the Archive (.tfarc) file format is superior.
