Copying CDP files

I have two Trainz2010 running one on a Laptop and one on a desktop. Both mine. I created a route and session on the laptop and wanted to transfer it to my Desktop. So I save the Route and Session I wanted to a CDP. Brought it over to my Desktop. Ran the Content Manager 3.3 and imported it and it shows on my list of local routes/sessions in Content Manager as being on the Desktop CM List. But when I run Trainz, the route/session does not appear on my list of routes.
I ran edit and commit from CMP and did a database update and still no route on the Trainz Route module. I have some dependancies showing as missing on the CMP and wonder if this could be the reason. But I tried moving other routes and got the same results.
Is there something that I am doing wrong. :confused:
 
Favourites?

I went into Options in Surveyor for another route and checked On Favourites and restarted the TrainZ but nothing changed in the routes. I thought favourites, would decrease the available content available when working on routes and scenerios. My route did not show up. When I created the CDP, I create one which included the Route and one scenerio that I liked. Should I have create a CDP for route and then the scenerio separately.
It is fustrating when something should work and doesnot. Yet when I download CDP's from other sources, they seem to take!:(
 
You should check the route for errors or missing dependencies by using CM3.3. Get the route to show first then you can work on the session. Trainz doesn't do scenarios any more:p .

Transferring Routes and Sessions successful

:) With thanks to the assistance and previous threads, I was able to move a route/session from one computer to another.
I saved the route/session(s) to a CDP brought it over to the other computer, then opened the the Content Mgr and imported the the CDP and imported the content, Had to do it in two steps. (Deleted any previous version of the same files in the receiving Content Manager)
I also did a missing dependencies check on the receiving route/session and downloaded them. I then saw the route and sessions on the TrainZ program.
