    I fyou only want to copy the button layout then you and do this through the File Center under the Tools menu.  Goto the TaskPad Layout and Content folder, select the taskpad to export and then click the Save File... button at the top of the window. 

    The xml that holds what the buttons do is particular to the database.  Some functions are the same but some are not.  Also this code get validated when you try to edit the taskpad and if the POS thinks it is corrupt then you will have to start over anyways. 

    the following sql query could be used to copy a taskpad to a different database, use at your own risk. Replace db1 and db1 with the names of your databases.  They have to be named so that it knows where to copy from and to.

    select * into db1.dbo.[Quickpad] from db2.dbo.[Quickpad] where [name] = 'Name of TaskPad'
