I have modified a program I created about 4 years ago. Went from using BDE
to use MySQL drivers, I copied all the old files over to a CD so as to have
the original program with the BDE sutff for Paradox still intact. I have
just copied it back to my HD and I have tried to open it up again, but all I
get is the project that I modified. I open the right path and it just brings
up the modifed version, How can I get it to use the 'old' version?

The attributes of files from a CD is set as "Read-only" defaultly.
Remove the "Read-only" attribute from all the files.

Just got back, thanks for the reply, but that was not the problem. Attribs
were set to 'Archive' no 'Read Only', any way turned out to be the DSK file
associated with the project. It maintains a list of settings for the Project
and in that in the first few lines is a referance to the 'Old' location of
the files when they were on the HD to start with. Deleted thata and all
better now. Thanks.
