Copying an instance form from one device to another

Does anyone know whether there is a way to copy an instance form from one
device to another,

the scenario might be someone begins to populate a form during an interview

  • we want to be able to copy that instance to another persons device for
    them to complete - maybe the next day.

I suspect the trick is being able to properly modify the instances.db file
and the instances.db-journal file in the metadata folder - by removing the
line for a particular instance on the initial device and adding it on the
second device.

Does anyone know whether there are tools or a file layout to be able to
modify these .db files?

Thanks,

Abie

These are standard SQLite database files. http://www.sqlite.org/

It is widely supported on a variety of platforms.
