Restoring Forms

Restoring a form or object retrieves it from archive database and returns it to the appropriate master database. You can restore an object only if it has been previously archived.

To restore a form with its associated template and/or global objects:

Open the Form Control form.
In the Actions group box, select Restore.
Select the Forms tab.
In the Archive form name field, select the form that you want to restore.
Verify that the Exists in Master field is set to False, which indicates that no version of the form currently exists in the master databases.

Select from these options:


To restore:	Do this:
The form without its template or any of its associated global objects	Verify that these check boxes are cleared: Display/select objects to be included with action Include form template
The template for the form	Select Include form template. Clearing this check box leaves the template in the archive database.
Only one copy of each global object referenced by this form	Select Eliminate duplicate global references.
All copies of a global object	Clear Eliminate duplicate global references.
Global objects associated with this form	Select Display/Select referenced global objects to be included with action. The Global Objects Referenced from Form pane displays all the global objects associated with this form. Use one of these options: To restore all associated global objects, click Select All. By default, all global objects associated with the form that can be restored are selected. To restore only selected global objects, first click Deselect All. Then, in the Inc (Include) column, select the objects you want to restore.

In the Process Options group, click Execute Action.
