Hey Dave,
Yeah, moving servers is a total pain. Especially with 2.0.x: the "page not redirecting" error is such a nuisance to debug.
So what you did first time 'round was totally right. The redirect problem is usually caused by the settings in the config.php file not being correct after the move. Once that's resolved, you'd need to look through the database and update all paths & URLs.
Regarding your current problem I'm not sure... it actually sounds like a problem with the form itself and not anything else. If you like, I can help debug the problem directly on your site. Failing that, could you post your forms so I could take a look (or email me them)?
I TOTALLY agree. As you can imagine, I do a great deal of testing - new installations, new form configurations etc. I've wanted to write some sort of export/import mechanism for entire forms for a long time. Did I mention the end goal of this? Well, in short, I want to create not just the import/export for form data (probably in XML format), but a "form market" on this site where people can post their forms & configurations. That way you just browse, find a form that's something like what you want, then import it.
That's the goal. It's a long way off yet, but we're getting there.
Let me know about the above.

Quote:Note to Ben: what a great idea for a module. The transport or copy module to move one form from one server to another.
