Hi,

To correctly use the project in a new NWDS. Please use the following method (for Windows XP only):

1.) Navigate to the projects folder. This will be in the "DC" or "Local Development" folders in your "Documents and Settings" folder.

2.) Inside the project folder you will find an "_comp" folder.

3.) Zip this entire folder with WinZIP or WinRAR.

4.) Finally goto the new PC / Location of export. Unzip this archive into a new Folder.

5.) Open NWDS. Goto File->Import->Existing Project into Workspace.

6.) Select your folder (where you extracted the archive).

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think you would have imported by File--->import. Try In this way. Take a back up of "comp" folder in the existing project and create a new dc of same project name and paste it. After copying, build and deploy it.
