Look in the drop down menu in the Swatches palette for the Spot Colors options. These may be set differently within the two files.

ah yeah there's the "Spot Options" too... Lab vs CMYK... although i think that was introduced with CS3 (?).

No, it's been around for a few versions yet.

if they are both the smae spot color, the end result should be the same when it's printed. I never trust any screen. I keep all my CD Cover designs I hae made and not the pantone/spot colors used and look at the flyer for reference. I have also had the same flyers printed by 2 differrent printers and came out with differences.

- actually no a pantone swatch will print different if your Spot Options are set to Labhorton

double click on the swatch and check the CMYK values match.
if they do then i'd guess your files are using different color profiles.
