Is there a way to copy the SOP Blank Invoice template that I modified into SOP Blank History Invoice? I heavily modified this report. I know you can export a package and rename in Word and re-import to a new report, but the tables are not the same.

James,
You are a genius. This just saved me a day of work!
Thanks!

Hi
I got this to work by doing the following:-
1. Modified the GP SOP Blank Invoice History Form & created an xml file output for this report.
2. Copied & re-named one of the Word Template forms linked to the SOP Blank Invoice Form report & deleted any report fields (other than text) and the xml data source.
3. Added a new xml data source using the xml output created from the GP SOP Blank Invoice History Form, then added the report fields back to the Template report.
4. Assigned the new template report to the GP SOP Blank Invoice History Form (Modified) in Template Maintenance.
When i print the template history invoice form i noticed that the file name is still 'SOP Blank Invoice Report' & not 'SOP Blank Invoice History Report' as i would have expected, other than this the content is ok & the report e-mails ok as well.
Regards,
James
Wow!...Nice one. Its not a proces I'm familiar with. Jaymi / Frank can you explain how its done?
If I had thought of this last week it could have saved me a whole bunch of time!
Regards,
Good job Jaymi. That's exactly what I was going to suggest.
Actually I got this to work... I exported the Blank Invoice file and edited the package files with Notepad. I replaced all the Work tables with History tables and it's working great. Still testing but have run into no problems. Saved me lots of time!
That's what i assumed, but doesn't hurt to ask!
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately not. You will have to modify the SOP Blank History report seperately.
