Moving a project to a different location

[Martin]

Hi!
How do I move a project (all sources) to a different location. Currently it
is located in 'My Documents', but I would like to move it to a directory on
the server.
When I try the "Save As..." option on the vbproj-file, VS2005 tells me that
it can be in the current directory only...

Tia,
Martin

Martin,

Don't try to move the project from within the IDE. Instead, use Explorer to
move the folder to the new location.

Please excuse me for jumping in here

Needing a second project similar to an existing one I've:

Used explorer to copy the project folder

Renamed the new folder and all the new files

Open VS2005 (not for the new files) and used Change in Files to change all
occurrences of the old file name to the new file name.

This appears to work.

I wonder though, if there is something (maybe a GUID) that's not the same as
if I had started a new project and cut an pasted the source code.

Is there?

Kerry is right. Remember that folder that VS made when you first created
the project ? Well, that's the folder you can copy/ move (including all
subfolders intact). Its not like ms Word or Excel - the "Save as.." does
not work for the project when you want to move it. Windows explorer ->
drag-n-move -> .

Thanks to all!
That worked perfectly.
