Default Error message when importing from one ProTools session to another [solved]

I am trying to import data from one ProTools session to another. I have the new session open, click on Import, select Session Data, and locate the .wav file in the previous session. But when I click Open, I get an error message saying “Cannot open the selected file because file is not a ProTools session or OMFI file”. As I'm importing from a previous ProTools session, this seems wrong. Any ideas what the problem is, and how to get round it?

Aha! Looks like I need to import Audio, not Session Data. Think I've solved it. Thanks!
