I have a completed Visual Foxpro application that resides as an app
within a large accounting exe program. My current duties are to make this
Foxpro application a seperate exe file. The foxpro work is pretty
straightforward = but I want to make a copy of the current program and put
it under Visual Source Safe Control. This way I have an extra "rollback"
feature for this relatively large application.
I am having a heck of a time getting Visual Source safe to register
the copied app as a seperate application. I am doing the following
procedures:
1) Making a new directory (i.e = d:sotexe)
2) Copying my project app files to this new directory.
3) changing the project file names to the new project I want to
create
4) deleting any .vca and .ss source safe files that register changes
to the old project
4) Going into MS Visual Source Safe, and creating a new project
folder
5) dragging and dropping the Files from the newly created directory
into the
Visual Source Safe Folder.
6) Set the working folder to the desired directory, i.e d:sotexe
When I go into Foxpro and open the project, it opens without source
safe control, when I try to add project files to source safe through project
manager = I get the error message 'there are no files to check out'. I have
checked by .ini source sage files on our file server, and the txt entry
shows the project going to the appropriate direcory.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions about getting a
copied foxpro project under Source Safe Control. Any helpful advice would
be appreciated.
thanks
