Hi, 

Sorry to bother you. When I merge a .qxp file from a project into the new project through setting new design partition in it, the following error about Quartus II shows:

Try first to delete the db and incremental_db folders in your project and recompile it. If it doesn't work, file an SR with Altera support, it is an internal error and there isn't a lot we can do about it. 

You could try and install the latest service pack too, it may have fixed the bug.
