We have a Final Build action written for Send mail action and using it for Final Builder 7. It is working properly. Now we have planned to migrate the FB7 projects to FB 8. So I have converted that send mail action to FB 8 project and I&nbsp;have placed the customized assemblies in ‘Assemblies’ and ‘ActionDefs’ locations. But while loading the FB 8 project, am getting the below message and not able to load the project.  
  
Project Load failedError loading project : Error parsing project. Errors Reported: Error 1 [924],[18] [Expression Error]: Expected = or \> or CRLF but got “SendEmail”. [nd  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;‸SendEmail Action  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; begin]  
  
Please help me to get rid of this problem.

Which build of FinalBuilder 8 are you using? If it’s not the latest, please try with it (load the FB7 project in FB8 and save it again). If it is the latest (or the problem persists with the latest), then please send the FB7 project to support @ [finalbuilder.com](http://finalbuilder.com) so we can figure out what the cause is.

I have figured out the issue. I have given some space in Serialization ID field, so that FB 8 project was not loaded. Now I have fixed it.   
  
 Thanks,
