We have developed some import specifications locally and
are trying to transfer/copy them to the server version.
We have used the import tool on the target database and
selected options and ticked the import/export
specifications button. The specification already exists
in the target database but the changes made are not
transferred across.

We can re-do the changes in the server database, but there
are many inputs involved and we would like to make sure
that the server version has the correct specs.

Cheers

Open the target database and start an import; click on Advanced, and then
Specs - try to delete the spec.

Then import the spec from the other database.

Open the target database; go to File, Get External Data, Import.
Locate the database with the spec you want to import and select it.
In the next dialog, click on Options
You'll see an option to import the import/export specifications
