Hi, I'm using VB2008 express, and I want to save my project: "VBprogram_V1"as "VBprogram_V2" and then make changes to the
Version 2 program. But there is no command in the File menu to do it. If I just copy my project folder to a new folder and give it
a different name, vb gives me a headache with heaps of errors I don't understand.

Maybe "Save as..." is in the commercial versions of VB???

Thanks in advance,

I normally just go to the folder where the project is Saved, right click on it and select Copy

create a new folder wherever you want to hold all these "test" copies and paste it into there

then you can rename the folder to something like app1Copy, and go into your app properties and change the assembly name to the same

I did that, i changed "Assembly name" and also"Root namespace" to the name of the new folder, and...

It Worked! Thank you so much.

Now it builds, no errors, but I get 30 warnings about the
icons, but the icons still appear when I run my program. Here's one of the warnings...

----

Warning30: The resource name 'arrow-down_24' is not a valid identifier.
C:\...\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\...\My Project\Resources.resx00

Why does this happen?

There have been a few threads where someone added some resources, then deleted some, and they had problems because the reference to the resource was not fully deleted. If I remember right after you delete the actual resource, you need to go into another folder and do something there.

I'll see if I can find the link to one of those threads.

Check back

found this one:

another thread suggested deleting the entire resources folder, etc, and then re-adding them all. In the search box above where it says Search Forums, type in something like delete resource or delete resoureces. You'll get a few links to read.

hope this helps
