>Is it me or Visual sourceSafe is simply unrealable and should be avoided at all cost. We started to use it about a year ago and since then we went from using it within VFP to outside VFP. When using it inside VFP, We got verrrry slow response from it when checking out or in. Using VSS outside VFP with VSS explorer to check files in and out solved the speed problem but one problem which is common to both method is data corruption.

Maybe we are not using it properly, maybe we are just ignorant... Well, trying to solve this problem i red every single doc about it in MSDN and many other FAQ,s but i still don't get it. Maybe our setup isn't right. Our VSS server is NT Server 4 SP6 Using TCP/IP Only, and we connect our Win98 clients using network Drive.

You may want to try Source Safe Boost, a little utility we provide for free on our web site (Http://www.eps-software.com). It is designed to be used when youy don't want to use VSS from within Visual FoxPro, but through VSS Explorer only. It also makes sure you always get max. performance (which can still be rather slow, unfortunately...)

Anyway: We find this utility esp. useful in Internet scenarios, where performance is an even bigger problem.
