Can I move my Messaging from my Desktop to my Laptop

I asked this question on 8/30 and never got any response so I am going to try it again.

I set up my messaging and localization on my desktop for a project I am working on. It works fine. I now have moved my project to my laptop along with my ethernet dongle. My project runs fine and uses the messages I created on my desktop.

I would now like to continue creating new messages while I am on my laptop but it does not seem to find the already created XML messaging files. Is this the way it is suppose to work or do I have to do something so my laptop can see the messaging?

TIA.

Sort of on the same topic. I have a project running and I am now creating a different project that will use many of the same Table Structures. I have moved the structures to a new Database and that is all fine. But I have some Forms in the first project that I would like to use in the second project. They use the same tables and structures. Can I just copy these forms to my new project and then include them? Or will I have issues?

TIA.

I copied the Strataframe database and the Messaging was there as it should be. Thanks for the help.

I have not tried moving the forms yet but when I do I'll let you know how that goes.

Thanks again.

Hi Terry.

If you want to move your project to your notebook, make sure to copy the StrataFrame database from your desktop SQL Server to your notebook's. Dettach it from the desktop, copy it to the notebook's SQL Server Data folder and attach it back there. All messages and stuff will be there ready to be used on the new machine.

As for copying a form from one project to another, there should be no problem. Copy the form's files to your new project folder, open the solution and go to the Visual Studio Solution Explorer window. Refresh it and you will see the new form there with a white icon. Right-click on it and choose "Include in Project".
