Hi Gary,

You can use SCCTEXT.PRG (Visual SourceSafe support in VFP) to convert VFP components that stored in tables to text file (not PRG) and back. The conversion back from the text file isn't supported by MS and is disbaled by default. Re: Converting from .SCA file to form files (SCX/SCT) Message #783954 shows how it can be enabled. Check also scX 1.27.3 at http://www.leafe.com/dls/vfp
Class browser can convert VCX to PRG but code may not be runnable. See mskb #Q156506 PRB: ADD OBJECT Syntax Error from Browser Code Snippet. You can download PrgToVcx from http://www.leafe.com/dls/vfp to convert PRG based classes to VCX.
