Trying to use Master Pages - with more than one Project

Hello again Smile

I'm trying to use master pages...and am probably doing something wrong - so please help...

Here's what I've got - I have a BO project and my main project.  When trying to add a new form based on a master page - here's what I'm doing:

1. right clock on main project

2. select add then new item

3. select SF Web Form w/Master - click add

4. the wizard then appears to look only in the BO project for the master page - if I delete the BO project, it looks in the main project.

So, what am I doing wrong???  How do I keep both projects and have it look in the main project for the master page - or - do I have to put the master page in the BO project?

Thanks again - HB

The template actually uses standard .NET tags to search for the wizard pages, so this shouldn't be an issue.  Out of curiosity, is your reference to the BO project a project reference or a direct file reference?  Also, if you try it each way do you get the same results?

The reference to the BO project is a project reference (I think Blush )  That is...I right-clicked on the references section and selected "add reference" then selected the BO project.

Not sure how to do a file reference...

I can work around this - just thought there was something I was doing wrong.

Yeah, you are correct in that is a proejct reference.  A file reference would be selected from disk or the GAC a reference versus another project within the solution.  I will try and reproduce this...doens't make any sense off of the top of my head. Ermm
