for details.

• • Use the New Project Wizard to create new TP5 Projects - see Creating a New TPD5 Project (below) for details.
  • There are several ways to open an existing TP5 project:
    • Select File > Open and select a TP5 file via the Open dialog.
    • Select a project from the listing of Recently Opened Files in the File menu
    • Drag and drop a *.TP5 file from Windows Explorer onto the TPDesign5 workspace.

NOTE: Projects created in previous versions of TPD5 will be updated to the current project format when opened. After this migration, the project cannot be opened by prior versions of TPD5. In this case, the application will prompt you to verify this action before proceeding with the migration process.
