Hi,

We are going to migrate our sites to another site collection and we have several forms connected to lists. They are not moved whe we copy all the content so i need to find the painless way to do that as some of them quite extensive. I tried to export / import, but it's not working and gives me an error that the list does not exists. Can you please help me with that?

It may be that you have a related items control that points to a list on another site. If so, your course of action:

-first, make sure that the target list is there (that you've migrated the source and the target lists - you should be migrating your sites via site templates)

-secondly, you'll need to open the form in Forms Designer and either resaving it will do, or you'll have to point the related items control manually to the target list
