In order to recover the SCX and SCT, you need to them out through VSS; the SCA is what's actually stored, and it is run through a program called SCCTEXT.PRG to recreate them from the data in the SCA file.

>>I just started using visual source safe (after several years of waiting to get around to it). I'm using VSS to check out the modules and form since the project manager is so slow with it. When I check a form out, there are three files, scx,sct,sca. Do I have to check all three out?
