Open an Existing Project File

To open an existing project file, pull down the Project menu and choose the Open Project command. You can also press the Project Open button in the Toolbar. The standard Open Project dialog box like the one shown below in Figure 4.16 will then be displayed.

Enter the name of the project file you want to open in the File Name input box and click on Open. Alternatively, you can also use the list box in the middle of the dialog box to select a file in the current folder and open it by double-clicking on the filename with the mouse.

The files that are listed in the list of files are determined by the entry in the Files of type input box located at the bottom of the dialog. From there you can select to show MPL project files project files' *.mpj', or all files '*.*'.

The name of the current folder is shown in the Look In input box at the top of the dialog. If the project file you want to open is in a different folder, you can press the down arrow at the right of the Look In input box to navigate through the directory tree. Select the folder name you want to go to and the list of project files below will reflect the contents of the new folder.

If you do not want to open a project file press the Cancel button to close the dialog box.
