Hi Tim and Will,

I'll try and check if this prg solves our problem. By the way, about the stars I will surely give at least one, shall I give the three of them, let me check and test it out :)
Thanks to both of you, for the PRG and the explanation!

Best regards,

>I think what it does is mark all the items in the project as being local (not in VSS)
>Then it opens the project (VFP does not look to VSS to check the file's current Check in/out status) once the project is open it puts all the previous statuses back in place.

>One downside to this is that the project does not get refreshed - Ie if there are multiple developers checking files in and out your project will never reflect this (unless you try and check out a specific file that another developer has checked out)

>But for us here it's great - the number of times I have accidentally closed the project (over enthusiastic Ctrl+W's) then had to sit for 5 mins waiting for it to re-open... it's worth it's weight in gold!

>Cheers for this one Tim (If it was my thread i'd give you some stars :)
