In VS2005, I want to write a program which will have some similarity to an
existing program.
It would be an advantage to start by copying the existing program (into a
new directory, and with new names for the forrms etc.) .
What is the easiets way to do that?
Thanks

Copy the files to a new dir and rename them in visual studio.

Simply create a copy of the solution/project/file in Windows Explorer.

Hi Barry,
Do you want to maintain both applications? If so, you should look into
doing pre compile switches, that way you can switch between each application
and build accordingly. I work on several applications that work in the same
way as they share an almost identical interface.
.....
#if BUILDB
'//This code gets compiled when BUILDB is true
#else
'//This code gets compiled when BUILDB is false
#endif
.....
HTH.
Nick.

Ouch...
If this generates *different* applications, I suppose it is a
maintainance nightmare... did you ever considered forms visual
inheritance?

Thanks for the various suggestions.
New Program B will be a totaly separate program from existing Program A.
The user interface will be different, but it will have some similarity to
that of Program A.
Likewise, the logic will be different, but will loosely resemble that of
Program A.
All I am trying to do is get a headstart, by "cloning Program A" then
modifying the clone, rather than starting from scratch.
As I see it, Michael's suggestion of "Copy the files to a new dir and rename
them in visual studio." looks like the easiset way of ahieveing what I want.
Thanks.
Barry

Another option is to start a new project and just copy what you need as you
go. This could end up with a cleaner result.

I'm trying to create a temp file by copying from an existing file, perform
some operation on the temp file, and then delete it.
The code I used is as follow:

File sourceFile = new File("c:\\source.dat");
File destFile = new File("c:\\destination.dat");

Can you create an instance of a subclass using an existing instance of
the base class?
Such things would be impossible in some languages or very difficult in
others. I wonder if this can be done in python, without copying the
base class instance, which in my case is a very expensive object.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi all.
Ok, I'm using VB6 but I think the answer to this (if there is one) is more likely to be found in the Access forum.
I have a situation where I've got tens of millions of records, spread over a bunch of separate databases. I don't have a choice about this, as the data is simply too large for a single MDB. As yet, I'm not prepared to go to SQL Server. Possibly in the not-too-distant future, but we'll see. In the meantime, I have this...
