how to change revision for a project...in a different folder...

[dtvonly]

Hi. I have a working VB.net rev0. Engineers now have a new requirements which means a "slight" change of rev0 to rev1.
How do I "copy" rev0 into a different folder called rev1 before making changes?

You can simply copy the solution folder and then open the solution SLN file from there. All references within that folder are relative, so it will just work.

A better option than that would be to get yourself some source control set up. That way you only ever need one copy of the source but you can revert back to any state in the project's history at any time and then jump right back to the current state. There are a number of free options available for source control, including Microsoft's TFS Express.
