I appreciate your situation, I like you have precious little time to devote to a project such as this. But I think that a few industrious VFP programmers could product this in pretty short order.

I think this could be accomplished with only VFP and VSS. Visual Source Safe is required for ultimate source control, but the VFP app would marshall classes to and from VSS. I believe this would be an add-on product for both VFP and VSS.

>>Hello Hilmar,

>>I have a concept which is based upon SourceSafe and VFP integration. It would enable a FP programmer to "check out" and Check in" independent classes from a class library. I already have the component which extracts and inserts individual classes to and from class libraries. I have been studying an article on "Advanced Document Management" written by Russel Cambell in FoxTalk in May and June 2001. I think with techniques such as these it would be possible to create a system which would allow multiple developers to work on several classes from the same library at the same time.

>>This project is too large for me to undertake while employed full time and working for a couple of independent clients at the same time. I have posted a message nearly 9 months ago suggesting an open source project to solve this BIG problem with team development in VFP. This project may be better suited to commercial development.
