    Question about VisualStudio.NET

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask this or not, but...

    In VisualStudio.NET, I want to take a form I've already made, copy it as a different filename, and then use it but modify it, saving it as a different filename the entire time, while keepign the original form untouched. When I do a SAVE AS on the original, it just saves the form under a new name, and doesn't keep the old form in my project.

    Is there an effective to way make this 'template' if you will? I just need one more copy of the form with a different name to work with.

    Thanks!!

    Ok I did as you said and it doesn't do anything, I picked the ASPX file i wanted to copy, and even the old VB extensions and it doesn't ask me to give another name for the file or even add it twice.

    You do that AFTER you do the Save As to anothe file name. then reopen the old file.
