Thank you for the answer Bill,

Can you explain a little more what you mean when you say that for VFP you just use the SourceSafe application itself as contrasted to using integration. Can you please describe the process of cheching in and out, doing builds, etc. I presume you keep your version of the project in the developer PC rather than on the network.

I am sorry (embarrased) that my questions are so basic. Thank you for the help.

Alex
