When you want to merge your custom db objects to new version, do you need to take whole object list or can you just take the edited ones and merge them?

would save alot of time if so :-k

    Do you mean when upgrading for example from NAV 4.0 to 5.0?
    Or when merging objects from test-db to live-db?

    You only need to merge the modified objects, that is objects where you did some customization. Don't rely on the Modified field in the Object Designer though to know if an object has been modified or not. Just export all objects to text, use a object splitter to split them out so you get one file per object, and then compare these bunch of files with standard NAV.

    Ok. You should follow Luc's suggestion then.
