The units folder won't drag a copy though - so do not select it. Instead, select all of the contents of the original units folder (the unit entries) and drag-copy them onto the new db icon - and a units folder will be created with the duplicated content.<BR /> <BR /> Karl Sat, 04 Oct 2008 17:29:47 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/cloning-database-a-c-12/m-p/179967#M21331 Karl Ottenstein 2008-10-04T17:29:47Z
