>We want to keep track between people who work on the same project off some task that must be done. We talk about using tasklist and share information. The source code is allways on drive I: on our server (ex: I:\SYSTEM\APPLIC\SDI\....) and when we have to make some change we allways copy the source code on the same path on the drive D of our workstation (ex: D:\SYSTEM\APPLIC\SDI\....). Iwas thinking about having the tasklist.dbf on the network and all workstation will use the same dbf for the task. If I am right we can also start foxtask.app from the network.

Your idea is possible, and simple. Because the FoxTask file is a standard DBF file, and does not require exclusive usage, you can share it with others.
1. Make a copy of the FoxTask.dbf to your shared network location on I:. You find it's location in the _FOXTASK system variable.
2. In your Config.FPW, set the _foxTask variable to the new location. Example:
_FaxTask = I:\SYSTEM\APPLIC\SDI\FoxTask.dbf.
3. Make sure all developer have the same line in their Config.FPW.
4. All developers restart their FoxPro.
They should all be pointing to the same Fixtask table via the TaskList application.
I have not validated these specfic steps, but the idea has worked for me in the past.
Good luck.
