You don't say what version of Transit you have.
Forward only works with packages, i.e. projects packed and sent to you in .PPF format, NOT with projects you create yourself (the manual is very clear about this).
And the Pack function, which creates the .PPF file, is only enabled in Transit Professional, NOT in Transit Freelance Pro.
If you have the Freelance version, you have to do it manually, i.e. follow Cafetrans' advice, but it's a messy solution.
I use an external SSD 1 terabyte USB drive (E: in my case) for all my projects, so all the Transit NXT folders APART FROM \bin are on E: all the time.
That way I can access my projects on any computer on which Transit is installed (I have Transit Professional on 2 desktops in 2 different countries, and Transit Freelance Pro on my laptop). The key is to have a unique location for all one's data folders (config, projects, reference, etc.), which my setup ensures.
But this obviously has to be done when you (re)install Transit, i.e. when the installation program prompts you for a location.
