Yes, folks I did it. CRAP! I have a deployed application that works fine, but my development PC blew up and I don't have the original CCP files.
<insert derisive laughter here>
So... is there -any- way to rebuild the CCP from the ASPs, HTMLs, js files, etc...?
Please say 'yes'.
Thanks In Advance,
---JC

Thanks,
OK, but the topic you referred me to implies that there is an Import function so that I could import these pages into an existing CCS project and bring them together that way.
How would -that- be done?

Sorry but that's not what Peterr refers to.
He simply states that recreating a project from the resulting files is not
possible.
Secondly he states that if one doesn't care about others (re-)developing the
application one should publish the project files to the server (sarcasm).

Positive note?
IF you have access to the ASP, HTML and JS files and all the _events
AND the size of the application is reasonable
THEN rebuilding (read recreate, reverse engineering) will be the fast way to
go using a new project.

JC, that post states "importing is not possible."

The answer is yes, but not in an automated manner.
I have a friend who lost his project files and only had the generated
source.
In a weekend, I rebuilt his project..
The methodology is not difficult.
You need to look at all of the pages together.
The first thing I looked at was the HTML to see which objects/controls had
been populated.
I then proceeded to create them (in a new page, keeping the original HTML
open in another window).
For the grids and forms, you need to look at the pagename.php file (it does
not matter which language it is, the methodology is the same) to extract the
data source information, where clauses, etc.
Once the basic stuff is done, you go in and start recreating the custom
handing in the pagename_events.php.
A bit tedious, but doable.

No problem is simple, but every problem has a simple solution, once you
found it.

Backup before it happens is the sollution 
These days a external drive (or even internal secondary backup drive) is cheap. I create backup on local drive and external drive.
With a simple script (batch file) I copy all projects to network pc / server where then backup is made, but you can do this on local machine too.
I do this instead of shutting down pc when I stop, I run the batch file, when backup is complete my pc shuts down. Easy as that.
You do not need backup software for this.
