>When did that happen? I didn't know VSS had the ability to compare anything but text files. If you try to view version differences of a VCX, SCX or other FoxPro metadata you get a message box saying "Binary files differ" but it doesn't show you how they differ.
Inherently, VSS can only compare text files.
Visual FoxPro generates a text version of forms, etc., which VSS then compares. For instance, the form file has the extension .sca.
The same text file is used for other source control providers (I use Perforce, since it is free for 1-2 developers).
HTH, Hilmar.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
