I cannot say for sure but given the dates in the thread linked above, the problem appears not be be SONAR version specific. A more reliable solution would be per-project audio folders. Projects can be zipped into a single file when necessary.

I have never seen a version of SONAR LE but there has been an option for years to store audio data with the project file. The feature is called "Per-project Audio." When a project is created, a new directory is created with the project name. The new project directory contains the project cwp file(s) and subdirectory to store the project audio called Audio. This way the entire project exists in a unique directory tree instead of the global audio folder.
 
If the option exists in your version of SONAR it should exist in global options or preferences audio data settings.

Awesome, I'm currently using 4 but plan to get 8.5 which I've been reading bundles will work with this version and win7. I'm currently having to line up separate mp3 files of the vocals. Saving per project audio will carry all files over to the other PC as a bundle would you're saying?

A bundle is a single file made by appending the project file with the audio files. To create a single file from a project created with per-project audio, one would zip up the directory.

DON"T USE BUNDLE FILES-- there are way to many people reporting issues when trying to use CWB. Use CWP and all this will go away. 
And as said keep your audio folder in the project folder by checking all the correct file paths and boxes, which might be a little different in each version or other DAWS. I have both Sonar and Cubase working fine this way.

SONAR 8.5 hasn't been available for several years unless you can find it in a bargain bin somewhere... or maybe on Amazon.

So I found the "per project" check box in the global and checked the box to enable the feature. Now how do I take the CWP file as you all are stating and transfer that INCLUDING the audio files with it where it will play as if it was a bundle "meaning auto adjusts my tracks as I had them and applies volume settings and such"?? I do see now since I checked the "per project box" when I save my songs it puts the .wav tracks in my audio folder and I do now have my audio folder in my projects folder.
 
I appreciate all the feedback btw! Not many forums I find are so quick to respond..

if you want to create a single file from a project for backup or to send to someone, right-click the project folder and "Send To" compressed folder or use any archive tool you wish such as 7-zip, winzip etc.
