Hi Viv, I've done that once ( create a new project ) and it worked for a while and then I got a NuGet restoring packages popup as soon as I started to add my project files to the new project, I suppose I'll have to go the cut and paste route rather than adding them as is - I can't help feeling this is Web.config related I'm also glad I'm not doing this for anyone else, I hate multiple config files with the same name, thanks for your help.
