SourceGear just sent me this message:

As for the naming of the files, the Vault IDE client is merely a component of the IDE. The IDE is in FULL CONTROL of working folders, file names, folder layout, etc. All the Vault IDE client does is carry out the command issued by the IDE. It contains no code for handling of anything regarding file names, working folders, etc.

which suggests that VFP determines the filenames for the baseline copies of the .scx and the .sct. If that is so, do you know how I can figure out if:

myform.scx baseline copy is 1087987.2345

what is the filename for the matching myform.sct baseline copy? It is 1098372.1234 but how can I figure that out programmatically? Is there anyway that you know of?

>>Next question: when EXACTLY and WHY is an .sca created? It appears that an .SCA is only created when a new form is added. Is that true? Is there anyway to have vault always create a corresponding .sca file and pass that filename to the diff program for comparison? I can convert an .sca to a sct and an scx for comparison purposes as an alternative solution.
