Hi!

When files are under VSS, project recompiling process aware about read-only flag and does recompiling correctly. It seems it is not aware only about FXP files. Why? Because FXP files intended to do not be included into the project. Including the source PRG file is enough. When VFP recompile PRG file, FXP file is re-created. If FXP is read-only - VFP fails. It is also not required to store FXP files at the VSS. Of course, if you have no PRG file (no source code), just include the FXP file only. VFP will not even try to recompile it, so there should be no problems.

HTH.

>>2) FXP files. SoureSafe likes to make everything 'read only' unless you check-the-files-out. We have checked in all our FXP files with all our forms/programs (30+). So when we do a 'get latest version' it asks us 30 times if we want to overwrite our existing FXP files, and we have to either say NO, or if we say YES, make sure the new FXP files are writable. What is the best way to handle this? I am wondering if we should NOT check these files in to begin with?
