You can, though I generally advise against it. There's a bug that pops
up rarely where two projects, or two forms, or two class libraries
open at the same time can get their memo fields hopelessly mangled or
blanked. Your only resort at that point is to find backups.
My advice:
1. Get your software in source code control, so you have at least one
source of backup. Hint: source code control is much easier than you
think. ZIP files are NOT source code control.
2. Use the file manager to make a new folder with the source you want
in your project.
3. Add a MAIN.PRG that points to the resources you need.
4. Create a new project by BUILD PROJECT FROM MAIN.PRG
5. If you have resources that aren't pulled in by #4, you need to
figure out how to make that happen. Hint: EXTERNAL is your friend.
This is what the command is for.
Good to know...I'd never heard that before!
Thanks,
