Hello Clark,

The path is an absolute path, in this case
"/Code/Domination/Original_Source". It's marked as absolute. If i
change it to Project Relative, all that happens is it becomes
"../../../Code/Domination/Original_Source" which is still not correct.
I cannot edit the path. I see no way to change it other than by
removing the affected files and readding them.
In the project.pbxproj i found -
name = Original_Source;
path = /Code/Domination/Original_Source;
sourceTree = "<absolute>";
I changed that to:
name = Original_Source;
path = "../Original_Source";
sourceTree = SOURCE_ROOT;
These values were derived from another group in the project, which
does similar to get a "Project Relative" path. However, this causes
Xcode to get upset and claim sourceTree is "nil" or "(null)". It even
moans about the change to path.

Well, being able to edit this base path would be a good idea!

Not sure I can attach the bundle - will have to check that with my
manager.

Well, I've never had a problem editing .vcproj files!

It "seems correct" because once it's done whining, it compiles OK.
It's only when I try to modify anything in the group where I changed
the path, that it whines again.
I'm also wondering - why doesn't it fix this on save?
