Boy, what a convaluted mess of a "so-called" integration this KB outlines :-)

The only problem with this approach is that it assumes you are using VSS with VFP only or other files you don't mind having multiple check outs for, which I don't, so allowing multiple checkouts is not an option for me.

However, we still use the PJM approach except after updating project list we have to go into VSS Explorer and manually Check In the PJM because of VFP leaving it marked as Checked Out.

So, you don't have to allow multiple checkouts to use the PJM file but if you are using VSS only with VFP it's probably the best approach.
