I'm no expert on CWB as I have never needed to use them as I say I've always used containment folders since day one just like I do for all my documents and files. 
I like the way someone described it to me back in the very begining of me using a PC.  
Not creating folders is like tossing all your files in a filing cabinet in a big heap, good luck finding your files. 
To expect any software to manage your files in a orderly manner ain't going to happen. It's up to you to file stuff where you want it so you can find it. 
 
I see the concept of bundles but what scares me is the possiblty of data being screwed up because it is being compressed or?? 
I sort of like my Wave files kept unaltered. To me using a bundle is like coverting your audio to a MP3 or something. 
I could be wrong but that was my understanding. 
 
 
 

Well regardless of your File organization skills, SPlat creates a file folder for your project but as I said if you are doing many saves within that folder you still only have one Audio File folder. To bypass this manually ever time I created a new copy of a projects for my save point... there are SO many things that would have to go into this that's it's crazy to even think about it. 
All mute at this point!
 
I know how to solved the problem, I know how to fix the problem and I know how to avoid the problem! 
 
Carry on Cakewalk Forum... Thanks for all the help! :)
 
Peace!
 
Peace!
 
PS. The CWB is not a compressed file.

OK I now see what your doing. 
but , "save as" to a new location outside the original folder does the same thing if you check the copy audio box. 
It will only copy the audio used in that version if you delete the unwanted audio tracks.. I just did this and checked. 
So to me the same idea as using a bundle. 
 
If it doesn't compress then how does a 164 MB CWP file folder now becomes a 32 MB CWB file folder 
I just opened the bundle I made to try this and the audio tracks are all geyed out and don't play,, definatly some weird bug. 
It made an audio folder in a totally new folder outside the one I had, named it and inside is just an empty audio folder??

Well, I have CWB files opening here just fine, I actually opened one from a CD from 2002 just last night.
 
This being a peer to peer forum, I don't think you should expect Cakewalk to come here and address this "bug" you've found. There's lots of folks here that can help, we just need a little more info, perhaps some system specs for starters. I'm not clear on your statement "I then opened the laptop project and imported 6 new wav file into this project from then other CWB project."
 
Are the wave files actually corrupted, or is it just that Sonar cannot locate them now ?
If you're not using the "per project" folder feature, then the wave files should have gone into your generic "Audio Data" folder. The reason your system specs would help is that I'm wondering what type of drive you were saving the bundle files to, and how much memory your system has. 

You have over 1000 posts! You know how this forum works! lol If Cakewalk thought I was wrong I would have heard from them here for all the world to see! OR at the least a Scook! Silence in this forum means they all know and have nothing helpful or relevant to say! lol Unlike you who posted as unreverent. You haven't even had this problem so you have no reference help to offer to resolve it!
If you read other posts you will see that this is a well known bug and has been for a long time!

Unreverent is not a word, if you mean irreverent, then no disrespect was meant towards you.
If I were irreverent, then I would certainly not be here trying to help you.
 
I tested using the following instructions from the Cakewalk manual and could not reproduce what you're finding, based on your saying you don't use per-project audio folders. Again, not trying to prove you wrong, I'm just wondering if you're using Cakewalk Bundle files in a way that was never intended to be used, or simply will not work. (in that case then maybe the manual needs to be updated ?)
 
When opening a Cakewalk Bundle file, SONAR will “unpack” the embedded audio data and save it to a new audio folder on your computer. To unpack a bundle file
1. Choose File > Open to display the Open dialog box.
2. Choose a file with a .cwb extension.
3. Click Open.
   If you have the Use Per-project Audio Folders option enabled in Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data,
   the Unpack Bundle dialog box appears. If this option is not enabled, the bundle file opens and all audio data
   is stored in the Global Audio Folder.
4. If you want to store the project in its own folder do the following in the Unpack Bundle dialog:
   Enter a project filename in the Project Name field.
   Use the Browse button to the right of the Location field to select a destination folder for the project, or to
   create a new folder, enter a new folder pathname in the Location field.
   Use the Browse button to the right of the Audio Path field to select a destination folder for the project’s
   audio data, or to create a new folder, enter a new folder pathname in the Audio Path field.
OR
   If you want to store the project in the Cakewalk Projects folder, and its audio in the Global Audio Folder, clear
   the Store Project Audio in its Own Folder check box.
5. Click OK.
 
Consolidate Project Audio
If your project references audio from multiple folders, for example you have a
library of loops that you share between several projects, you can gather all the
audio for your project into a single folder using the Consolidate Project Audio
command. The Consolidate Project Audio command copies every audio file your
project references into a backup folder beneath the projects audio data folder.
Creating a copy of all your project’s audio may take a lot of disk space.
Allows you to create a complete backup
of all project audio even if the audio is in
multiple locations. Creates a new folder
which you can move or delete without
fear of losing the original audio files.
 
 

I beg your paaaardon... lol Unrelevant is mid evil Latin!
Hum? I only used the help area and that was no help... but you know? I've never seen this help doc but have opened hundreds of CWB file for like the last 10 years, version to version without issues.   
But as I said in my last post here... I have solved the problem, how to diagnose and fix it pre saving as a CWB file. There is more then one situation that will create this issue within normal operation... I still have one more test to run, that I have known for a log time creates this problem and have avoided it. . . you may be able to google it find it here. 
 
peace.  :)
