Hi Twila,
It is pretty usefull to have a solution which includes only the business objects so you can work on them (and test with them) while not opening the solution which contains everything. Being bold means it is the startup project and the business project needs to be the startup project to use the test bench. You shouldn't need to discard your other solution in order to open the project in a different solution. I sometimes have several solutions that contain different parts of other solutions. Here is an excerpt from the development guide regarding that.
Note: Unfortunately, the Visual Studio Object Test Bench only works with the Startup project in your solution. To test business objects in the Object Test Bench you must either open the business object project by itself (as you are doing in this Jump Start) or temporarily set the business object project as the Startup Project by right-clicking the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting Set as Startup Project from the shortcut menu.
Your welcome, Any time

>Thanks, Tim. I created a new solution not only with the business object but also with all of the other projects in my original solution and AAppTest works properly in that new solution. I am currently using this dummy solution to do my testing but still curious as to what would cause this odd behavior in my original solution. I will either have to just delete the original one and start again or continue comparing a solution that works to the one that doesn't. It seems like the main project is not truly being changed for the solution even though it looks like it is based on bold lettering and the solution properties.
