Thank you Detlev,

I was thinking that I wasn't using Eric correctly because I have to 
manually move the created files to the ui directory. Moving them isn't a 
major problem, I just thought that I must have missed a vital step 
somewhere.

Although it's been many years since I've used it, I had become used to 
the way Qt Creator automatically handles the housekeeping duties.
