I created a performance evaluation for our employees on our web server in a
folder called 'performanceEval'. Now I wanted to create a slightly modified
version for supervisors. I made a new folder on the server called
'supervisorEval' and copied the files from 'performanceEval' to over.
Everytime I try to open the project in the 'supervisorEval' folder, Visual
Studio opens the original project in the 'performanceEval' folder. There is
some sort of mapping that is really messing me up. Does anyone know how to
straighten this out?
Thanks,
 
Nate, Hi!

Actually an afterthought, why not create a new solution/project and add the
files from the exisitng solution that you need to tailor further. Changes to
these files are not cascaded back to the original solution.

Thanks Ravindra!
This does seem to work. But there are a couple of gotchas I ran into. Unless
you change the name of the project and solution, when you run the project it
opens the old version in the webpage. It seems to work best if you highlight
the project you want to copy and use the 'Copy Solution' on the Solution
Explorer. Also, if you don't change the name of the project and solution to
match the new destination the default save location will be the old version.
Thanks again!
