Question Other people's projects will not open

[apricotproducts]

Hi, every time I try to download a VB 2008 project file (you know, the ones that you can edit) it says that the file is missing or has been removed!
My visual studio/basic always says this no matter what project file i try an open.

Please help!

EXACTLY what are you downloading, EXACTLY how are you opening it and EXACTLY what is the error message?

THANK YOU! Finally someone replies!
Ok, so I download them from zip files, and their just the project that someone has designed and coded. (it worked for be before) I'm opening it in vb 2008 like you would open any other project file. but next to the file in the solution explorer it shows a caution sign I try to open the form and a error message box shows up and says:
The item 'formname.vb' does not exist in the project directory it may have been moved, renamed or deleted.

so i don't know what to do

I figured it out! woohoo! I just had to extract the whole zip file into my vb 2008 project directory and now it works! wow....I feel dumb!
Thanks for reading my thread though!
