Thank you, but I am new so bear with me with a couple more questions.
There is a "projects" folder with directories (folders) for each of my applications.
In each of the folders is another folder with the same name as well as the .sln and .sou files.
First question - which folder do you call the "solution folder", from what I have studied I am thinking it is the second folder:
...\projects\MyAppName\MyAppName < Solution folder
Here is what I have tried already: Created a new folder under "projects" => ...\projects\MyNewAppName
I then copied the the "MyAppName" folder and its contents along with the .sln and .sou files and pasted them into this new folder.
I then opened the .sln file in the MyNewAppName folder from the VS IDE. After checking I found that there is still an absolute reference to the database in the original folder. It is in the DBnameDataSet.xsd file associated with each table's primary key within the parameter tags of the Update command. Being that this is not a "relative" reference I am not sure just making a copy is all that is necessary. Should I manually change these "absolute references" or is there something I can do with respect to the dataset that will automatically regenerate this file with the new reference. From your reply you seem to imply it does not matter and it may not. The program still runs even if I change these references to invalid folder names.
I did find that going to the dataset designer and reconfiguring each tableadapter for each table regenerated these references after saving the dataset.xsd file. I tried just configuring the dataset but that didn't work. If there were many tables this way could take some time.
Also if I am comparing a couple of different ideas with the original, I cannot easily tell which is which in each of the open IDEs. When I think I am looking at the new version it turns out to be the original. So I am wondering if there is a way of changing the entire solution to a different name. For example MyNewAppTest1 and MyNewAppTest2.
Thanks...
