Changing Object ID

Hello ,

I have created formal module, while creating module i have given prefix as ABC_1-1, and I have entered around 100 objects.
Now I need to change the prefix as ABC_1_1, can you help with this?

Open the module in Exclusive Edit.
Open the module properties.
On the General Tab, find the "Prefix" attribute.
Edit and change to your new value.
The prefix will change but the object numbers will remain the same - i.e. ABC_1-1100 will become ABC_1_1100.

Since the ObjID concatenates a string Prefix with an integer AbsNo it behooves you to not end the Prefix in a digit. In your case ObjID ABC_1-122 is Absolute Number "22" which is very hard to see. Tend to end your Prefix in a dash or I prefer an underscore, but perhaps a colon would work also. ABC_1_1:

-Louie

I'm suddenly starting to like the colon...
