To copy or move projects between hard drive locations, make sure to copy/move the entire project folder and not just the NetPointFile.np4 file.
Alternatively, NetPoint provides an email utility from within the application. The email utility, however, will ONLY include NetPoint-generated files, leaving out any files placed in the project folder by the user. For more information, see the notes at the end of this section.
NOTE: To benefit from Microsoft Outlook integration, NetPoint requires 32-bit installation. To check in Outlook 2010, click “File > Help”, and then look for the bit number in the right-most sections under “About Microsoft Outlook” after the “Version”. To check in Outlook 2013, click “File > Account”, click the big “About Outlook” icon, and then look for the bit number on the first line at the very end.
NOTE: To open a project from an email, see [bookmark postid=”4720″ anchor=”opening-projects-from-emails”]Opening and Unzipping Projects[/bookmark].
