(Utilities – Forms Update Utility)

Forms are normally updated to reflect any programming changes during product updates.  If you did not update your forms during a product update, you can use this screen to do so.  

Screen Details

You are first asked Do you have any customized forms?  

If you have created one or more custom form layouts, select the top radio button – Yes, Update Customized Forms.   The program will locate your customized RTM layouts and update them, when feasible, with any programming changes associated with the update.   All your non-customized forms will be updated with the latest versions.  
If you have not customized any forms, select the second radio button – No, Restore Default Forms.  The program will update your system with a fresh set of the latest standard form layouts.  

Next, once again select your paper size.  

Select Letter for standard USA paper size.
Select A4 for standard international paper size.  

Click Next to continue.
