Close your application (not FT View) and open the Tools->Application Manager. Select backup application, [next], then select your application, [next], & [Finish]. It will create a backup application file that is used to transfer between development systems.
I was looking over the last PLC5 / PV+ app I worked on and I created internal tags which pointed to addresses in the PLC. In all of the objects connection fields, I had to put braces around the tag.
Something else to try, is delete the ethernet driver(?) from the runtime tree.
I had an issue recently, where we replaced a PV standard with a PV+ due to a fault screen, and struggled to get comms to work. Not sure why, but deleting the ethernet driver solved the issue, even though I was using Ethernet to transfer the application, the runtime was not required.
This may/may not work for you, but solved the issue for me.
