In both cases we used SoS to synchronize with the VSS database and the master copy - and stayed away from integrating the VSS with VFP. The interaction between VSS and VFP's Project Manager was proven to be a nightmare, unless everybody knew the tricks, which neither project could afford.

>>>As to grouping multiple classes into one vcx - I'm with Mike here. The only reason I'd have two of them together would be that I know for sure that one would be used nowhere else but in the other one. The only exception is the framework itself, which sits in one large vcx, all 30 or so classes. Everything else is in a separate vcx or prg. Careful naming is needed, though, because there's no other way to keep things grouped in ProjectManager.

I don't see how this is personal preference at all. I see it as a solution to a technical problem.
