Hi Marie,

There are a couple of paragraphs in the VFP docs about this. It's in the VFP Documentation. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve your problem directly. Notice though that there is no mention of putting the DBC into SourceSafe.

What I have chosen to do is to exclude the DBC from the project and not keep it in SourceSafe. Most people use GENDBC.prg to create a script to use to rebuild the DBC if it's needed. They then keep that script in SourceSafe. Another cool option is to use the FILETOSTR function on it and save that txt file in SourceSafe. Then, if you need another copy of your DBC, you can FILETOSTR it wherever you need it. Most people do the GENDBC thing though.

HTH,
Marty
