Also you can, of course, drag and drop from one project to another with no problems.. Something "obvious" which is often overlooked!!
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.
