If that method was good enough for Newton, it is good enough for me :) Do you have any suggestions?

We use TFS for .net projects and Vault for VFP projects. I don't see why you couldn't traverse a vfp project directory with .net and call the api to replicate it in Vault. Sounds like a reasonable plan to me. However, I would find it amazing if it wasn't done already!

It depends on what version of Vault you are using as to whether you can use .net or have to go back to vb6....

vb.net sample code here:

I like the idea of using the api to do it for you. If you plan on using vault long-term, I would go that route. I use TFS and Vault on a regular basis but frankly new projects are always added in TFS (.net) not Vault (vfp) so there's not much sense in my pursuing it...
