>I am in the position to recommend a source control application to be used to host our (VFP) source code. I've looked into VSS but I've heard bad things about it's stability especially about the database becoming corrupted. Now that is one thing I would not want in a source control / repository software. So I'm not asking you about your feedback and recomandations for such an application.

I used VSS successfully. Now I use Perforce (reason: it is free for a maximum of two users). It integrates well into VFP. It requires a server, which can be NT.

Caveat: I didn't use it for heavy-duty tasks. For instance, right now I am the only programmer in the "team".
