Lou I have used Subversion extensively while working for one of my US-based customers (I live in Romania). Although it doesn't integrate into VFP we used it very well.
Just to let you know - there's a distribution of SVN which is not Apache-based: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/ All you need is Tortoise SVN installed in your clients. There's one catch though: SVN is case sensitive and VFP has the nasty habit to capitalize the extensions now and then. We used a projecthook program which would iterate through all files and lowercased the extensions upon project close. I'm going to look for that prg if you want to go this route. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:profoxtech- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Lou Syracuse > Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 6:25 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: VFP and Source control > > Is anyone using source control with VFP? > > > > I really need to push for something here.
