All,

We have been having all kinds of issues on a sever and tons of changes were done to keep it running . Long stroy short too many changes on the server which is still up and running . I just installed a parallel server created a new farm . I created a new site like the one on the old server . This site was created from Collabaration template while the old one was made from blank site . We have tons of Lists , Form Libraries , Data connection library , sub sites and so on . I know we can move the site over but it over writes the collaboration portal with the blank page template . Is there any way to keep this template and mograte the site over . Please advise

Perhaps you could explain the connection this post has to InfoPath Form Services which made you post it here.

As far as I can see the only possible connection is "Form Libraries" but this is only one in a long list and not even highlighted in any way.

Moving to Admin.

P.S. One minute before I posted this you posted a second copy of your post - in that case to the Setup/Admin forum.

NEVER post the same question to more than one forum. It wastes everyone's time.

I have deleted that second post. Please don't do this again.

Hi,

You can check out this tool:

http://www.codeplex.com/SPDeploymentWizard

It is essentially an import/export tool but allows you to just select content (lists, libraries etc..) export it out and then select a URL to import the content into. There are 3rd party apps that you can buy that will perform this but I would first see if this free tool works for you. I have had decent success with the tool especially if you are not exporting from a publishing site, which in this case you said you were originally using the blank site template.

Good luck,

HTH,
