I'm in a catch-22.
We have just installed VSS 5.0 and I was adding the first project. I had opened VFP5 and opened the project file. Then, I selected the menu option to put the project under VSS control. Things were adding along nicely until VSS encounted the DBC file. It barfed a lung with the msg that I can't add the DBC while it is open, so "Close the file and then add it." Well, you (or at least I) can't close the DBC without taking it from the project. So, the only way I can add it is to close the project. Then, from VSS, I select the add files option and select all four files associated with the DBC. Here is the rub - VSS shows the files in its project list, but VFP DOESN'T show that the dbc or its tables have been added to the project (i.e., no blue padlocks show up, or no red check marks when you check them out.) You can check them out from VSS, but since VFP doesn't see them as being a member of the VSS control file it doesn't show an checkout options. The VFP project list DOES, however, give you an option off of the right mouse button to add the DBC to the project file (which proves that VFP doesn't see the DBC as being under control of VSS). IF you take that option you are still rejected.
What's the cure?
