>That's a fair question, and perhaps that is where I should start. I would like to implement a better source control system than the manual method we are currently using. I have spent a fair amount of time working with subversion, and while it can be made to work, it is fairly tricky to do conversion in and out of binary files.

TFS is a much nicer source control system than VSS for one thing. Simpe to set up, Internet enabled, a web client, and SQL based!

To use it with VFP you need the MSSCCI client for TFS which allows applications that have VSS clients to use TFS.

UPDATE: You'll need to search for the client - there was a beta 2 version available but I think they took the link down when TFS2010 released yesterday. I assume a release version of the MSSCCI client is forthcoming.
