Hello Cathi

I did end up copying the web pages over to a new project and everything is now working.

I will refer to this thread next time I try to do a copy and hopefully get it right.

I wish Microsoft had provided something to make this easier. I always get this problem with microsoft products, oh well at least we should see an end to dll hell now.

Many thanks for your help

Another approach you can take is to create a brand new project in VS.NET and the copy the web pages you want into the new directory. That way you have VS.NET take care of all the creation of the virtual directory and the basic files used. Then all you do is copy your specific files that you have created.

>>>You are almost there. You need to open up the .sln file in Notepad or an XML parsor and change the url to the new path. That way when you open up the project it will use the new directory.
