Actually, you need to keep the .??A files under source control - these are semi-text files that describe how to recreate their sources (ie .VCA is used to recreate the .VCX/VCT, the .SCA recreates .SCX/SCT, etc.) This avoids the problem of 'cannot update cursor'. If you have used the VFP interface to put things under source control, rather than the brute force method of stuffing things in through the VSS dialogs, this will be done automatically.

>>>I have been getting these 'Cannot create file: x' errors recently. The first time was any time I tried to run my main program from the project I would get the error "Cannot create file lsmain.mpx" After a lot of heartache I noticed that this file was readonly as a result of using Visual Source Safe. I removed the readonly flag and all is well. Today I got another error that an ".fxp" file could not be created....same thing....it was readonly and as soon as I removed the readonly flag it worked.
