Copy entire gINT project.

I need to copy a project, but give it a new name. How can I accomplish this?

  • As mentioned by Alan P below that is a locking file created by MS Access. The extension is .ldb.  Close your gint file, and in your File Explorer, find the gint project file you want to rename. Make sure that the assoiciated .ldb file is not present. If it is, then delete it. Sometimes it does not get deleted on gINT file close, and you have to do this manually. In addition, if it cannot be deleted, enter the Task Manager and see if there is any gINT proccess/tasks running. At times, even though you have  closed out of gINT, MS still thinks you are running it ( go figure). In that case you have to select that process and then End Task to manually remove it from Windows thinking is is still active. After THAT you should be able to delete any .ldb file, and then make a  copy your gINT file. I do a copy and paste, Ctl+C, Ctl+V, and then change the file name to the correct name that I want and proceed from there.

    I would think the process in the image below will do it too. Doese your gINT not have this feature. Mine is v 8
