I wrote a wrapper around VFP's SCCTEXT.PRG (which is what is used by the Visual SourceSafe integration). SCCTEXT.PRG will convert forms, reports, etc. to a text file. I run the wrapper for the version of a form that I've modified, then I run it for the version that is in SourceSafe. Finally, I use SourceSafe to compare the two text files that were created.

Also, I modified SCCTEXT.PRG according to an article in the Sept. 1997 issue of FoxPro Advisor. This modification sorts methods in alphabetical to avoid the re-ordering that occurs when changes are made to the form, report, etc.
