Happy new year to all the forum members and to all the developers!

I have finally succeeded in building my old projects developed with MPLAB 8 under MPLAB X.

The key points were:
- Rebuilt the project from the old sources (asm and pbp). Remove all other files generated under MPLAB 8
- Do not use upper case names! Even if we are under Windows, with PBP not case-sensitive, MPLAB-X has been developed for C programmers and is case sensitive. So, rename every file name in lower case, including in the #include instructions in the pbp files.
- In the last step of the New Project process Tick the box “Use project location as the project folder” to obtain a project structure comparable to what we have with MPLAB 8.
- If necessary tick the box LONG (Project Properties)
- The PBP file had to be inserted into Project > Source Files but in my case since my asm files contained only data, nothing else had to be done. I imagine that my asm files are automatically inserted into the PBP file during the build process.
- The project was ready for compiling which was done by the broom and hammer button.
- My PicKit 2 and my target were already connected. I had only to push the green downside arrow button to get my target programmed.
The next step will be to migrate to the 18F27K40. It will take some time, including with electronics.

Coming back to MPLAB 8, I know that I must use mpasmx and PBP3.1 for working with 18F27K40. My question was about the IDE itself since I cannot find this PIC in the Project Wizard list. Is there a way to include it ?
