Thanks Ken, very sportive reaction! (but I’m not there yet, still some things to enhance, work to do…)

Version 8.0.0 of NotesHound is in Alpha-stage and it contains (amongst 16 other application) a Refresh/Replace design tool that you can run on an unlimited number of databases.

But you beat us to it - and your tool is free.

The good thing about the approach you suggest, is that you can (perhaps, didn’t test it yet) get the respons the server console gave.
Unfortunately, in my situation I sometimes need to refresh from a different server.
I’m still looking for a way to get the response of the statusbar, so that I can investigate and log the responses…

If you want to provide an API-less approach as well, I’d suggest programmatically issuing console commands:

Call session.sendConsoleCommand(serverName, {Load Design -f } & dbFilePath)

The limitation of this is that the database and its template must both be on the specified server, but in many cases that’s true anyway.
