It's a rather complex subject and you may get more than one opinion on this. I prefer to use the VSS interface (as oppossed to the VFP Project Interface to VSS) and put the common routines and libraries (VCX) in their own VSS project. As the common libraries do not change often (they are basically part of your framework) you don't need to get to them in VSS every day. That way each project has its own VSS folder and the common stuff another one shared by all. This is of course for a one-man band, as I am, not exactly for a team project where many devs access the same code and it gets a little more complex (but not much).
