Hi, Paul Galvin has a tutorial which describes how to move a SharePoint Designer workflow from one list to another in the same environment or within the same site. Hope it can be helpful to you. http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2008/12/15/why-can%E2%80%99t-i-easily-port-sharepoint-designer-workflow-solutions-from-one-list-to-another-part-2/ If you want to move SPD workflows from one farm to another, you can convert the SPD workflow into a Visual Studio workflow which can be more easily deployed to many different places. This reference will help you get started. http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdesigner/archive/2007/07/06/porting-sharepoint-designer-workflows-to-visual-studio.aspxRegards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Workflow is an item that you can't move with templates. All the STP templates do is to make a copy of your list in the content database and makes it available to other sites that share the same definition as the one in which it was created. If you want to add a workflow to this list, you'll have to recreate it in the destination. You could try using an STSADM export, import for this, which I believe moves workflow over, but it doesn't move across the status of any items currently in transit in that workflow.http://www.final-exodus.net
