Moving keytests between project suites

I am working within a team that is testing an administration system. We are working in two project suites because working in the same project was slowing the recording down and continually asking to update.



To bring all the tests together I add an "existing item" from the other project suite. When I try to run these tests they immediately fail because ojects cannot be found or do not exist. If i then re-point the test actions they run perfectly, obviously this is very time consuming and impractical.



It seems that when the test is brought over the name mapping does not come with it and the test is struggling to find the objects because they are not mapped in my suite. Is there a way of merging the name mapping from the 2 project suites so that all tests will run in either suite.

    If you right click on the name mapping node in a project, there's an option for "Merge with..."  Selecting that prompts you to browse to and select the NameMapping file that you want to merge with your current file.  You can read more about how this works and some of the cautions about it at http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/12454/
