>Not a problem. I've been where you are now...I had to do all the initial investigation and standardization of using VFP and VSS together when we got VS5. A couple of things FYI:

>1. Don't allow multiple checkouts of the same file. I've found and heard VSS's merge capabilities are flaky at best.

You're being kind, especially when talking about class libraries, forms and the like.

>2. When VFP is integrated with VSS you can use the Project Manager and VSS Explorer to check in/out files and it will be reflected in both. The only exception is updating the PJM file.

And the ??A files, which are the basis for checking in/out ??X/??T pairs. You can and will hurt yourself if you check in class libraries by hand without updating the VCA. I've hurt myself a couple of times this way when dealing with systems that had slightly different system times, so that date/time stamps were squirrely.

>Now that we've been using it for a while I've found VSS to be a great tool and not only use it for my VFP files. I use it for version control on old Fox 2.x programs, documentation in MS Word and my HTML help files.

>>Thanks this helped quite a bit. I have some other questions that I do not know how to verbalize yet. Mainly in the area of multiple developers in the same project. I need to run some test to gain expercience for questions.

>>I am at a company that is about to move to VFP 6 from 5. They do all VSS stuff from within VSS at the moment.
>>
>>I am the only developer fully in VFP 6. I am also the point man on figuring out how to run with VSS from within VFP6.

>>Thanks again.
