Hi Stefan
Thanks for your advice. Deleting .DS_Store inside the "Packaged" Hire
folder sounded reasonable, but it does not seem to have made any
difference.
I'm not game to meddle with the .DS_Store for the whole Projects folder
as there is too much as stake and I now have a good Hire folder anyway,
thanks to your command line copy idea.

I actually thought the folder was not named *.pbproj, I've just typed
it incorrectly (too much caffeine...)
Anyway, as I understand it, the bundle bit is both stored in the Finder
info for the folder (in something called Catalog Folder Record) and in
the invisible .DS_Store file (but I'm not sure).
So you might want to try to delete the .DS_Store file of your projects
folder (the one that contains "Hire") or the .DS_Store of the "Hire"
folder (maybe try the second one first).
Maybe this helps...
regards
Stef

Hi Steve
thanks for your help. Apparently my wording was ambiguous as both the
kind people who responded took it that my folder was named
MyApp.pbproj
This is not the case. My folder, named "Hire", contains all the parts
of the Hire project, including the files Hire.pbproj, Main.wo
and about 80 others. The folder which thinks it is a package was
simply named Hire. Now that I have copied (in the Finder) iit it is
named Hire copy 27/7/3 My projects folders contains about 60 project
folders and three of them (copies of the one that changed it's nature)
show their "kind" as "package".
Using the command line to make a copy of the "Packaged" folder
resulted
in a normal folder so the problem is now overcome. I still don't know
of any other way to make a folder into a package, or a package back
into a folder. I imagine there is a bit setting on the folder
definition somewhere, but it is not apparent from Get Info

The reason it's showing up as a package is that the name of the
folder
is *.pbproj. I'm not sure all of the things that will make a folder
show up as a package, but naming it with one of the package
extensions
is one of them. Things like .wo, .app, .pbproj, etc.

Something very strange here. I hope there's a simple fix.
Yesterday I had a simple WebObjects project in it's own folder.
Today when I come to open the folder to start work the Finder shows
the
folder to be a package, so it doesn't open. I can right-click and
show
package contents, thereby gaining the necessary access to
MyApp.pbproj,
