Source Control. VSS and Subversion are two I've dealt with. There are two methods, integrated in the IDE, and not. There are discussions in the archives here about the pros/cons of both methods. This will enable you to keep the data on the server, and keep the desktop and laptop sync'd.
Directory structures is a personal preference. I'm sure there's pros/cons to the different ideas of structures. I haven't settled on one yet, as my projects vary from related and related, but not related. I know source control can help with this, but I've not taken the time to become try/understand branching. HTH, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Joe Yoder Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 5:42 PM I have a desktop and laptop that I use for Foxpro development work. My server is the only machine that is on scheduled backups. At this point the desktop and laptop have the default Microsoft installation which puts VFP under "Program files." I recently realized that the VFP samples assume VFP is in the root of C: and that the default installation didn't let me access the class designer unless I was logged in as administrator. I want to setup the entire VFP system on the desktop and have it replicated on the desktop as well as the server so there are regular backups. At this point I have a lot of small projects in different places and need to plug everything into a standard structure. I hope to do some larger projects when I get up to speed. I want the configuration to facilitate sharing the general stuff I have developed without needing to maintain multiple copies in the different projects and on different machines. Perhaps this should be have been posted as two different questions. The first issue is what structure to establish. The second is how to handle replication/synchronization. The second requirement may influence the best approach on the first. Any advice or URLs will be appreciated, TIA - Joe Yoder _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/002201c972ae$c6823db0$5386b9...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
