Copy and Paste ArcSWAT Projects?

[Jiajia Liu]

Hello ArcSWAT experts,

I have just set up a SWAT project and I intend to copy and paste the project to another folder so I can adjust SWAT2012 database without changing the default settings in the first set up.

I copy and save the current project "swat_001" into a second folder and changed the SwatGDB path under MasterProgress to the second folder. 

How can I change the project name in the second folder from "swat_run_001" to say "swat_run_002"?

I tried to changed the file names but it keeps giving me errors as shown above.

Thanks in advance!

I'm no expert, but these are some solutions that have helped me in the past with similar issues: Try checking  your permissions for the new folder. If you don't have proper access rights, it can give this error, I think. You can also try making another new folder (give it full read/write permissions first), then copy/pasting groups of files or folders to see which give you errors.

Thank you for the response. Both of my folders are in an external hard drive, when I try to check my permission, I can't really find the "security tab" I wonder whether it has something to do with the latest windows 10 update.
