Visual FoxPro 9 & VSS - Updating the "master"
set of files

I've got VSS 6.0c installed, and am using it with Visual FoxPro 9.

Using VSS Explorer, I created a VSS project, pointing to a network directory 
with a complete working project.

S:\vfp9vss\OTime2

I used this as my VFP home directory, with VSS 6.0c. It has a VFP project, I 
built, debugged tested and deployed from here.  All using VSS.

We've got another developer and myself working on this project.  So we're 
working closer, and we need to share more. So, on each of our computers, I 
created VSS-based projects using working directories in our 

My Documents\Visual FoxPro Projects\OTime2

directories.

All following KB 157636 / Q157636

VFP lets us both check out files from our project, work on files, check back 
in, undo check out, etc.  And do the VFP Build, which creates a VFP APP/EXE 
up in each of our My directory.  We can test, debug etc.  Life is good, but 
we haven't looked at each other's code.

I check in all the files, then go to the 
S:\vfp9vss\OTime2

directory to do the build and deployment from everybody's source.  

And I discover that this network share isn't getting the updates from me.

I run VSS Explorer, and the OTime2 project 
Contents are $/OTime2
\\network$\Craig.R\visual foxpro projects\otime2

which is the My Documents location, not the network share!

But when I look in both projects using VFP menu:

Project / Source Control / Project Properties

both are pointing to (General tab) $/otime2/otime.pjm

which should be the same file.

What gives?

What is wrong with KB 157636 ?

How can I force the My Documents to push files down to the network and check 
out from there?

Should this be posted in a Visual FoxPro forum?

Thanks!!!  really...

This is still a problem.

I've followed the advice from KB237843 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237843 

"userA selects "Update Project List. UserB then updates his/her
project list 
by choosing the menu item refresh the Project." Actually I think that is 
Project,  Refresh Project.  One problem is that Update Project List can give 
rise to a dialog box asking the user to Synchronize Changes to Existing 
Files. Accepting the mergers doesn't fix this problem.

And when I go back to UserB computer Refresh Project shows every file in the 
project, not just the recently updated files. That's crazy - even comparing 
by file date shows they don't need to be updated.

Can anybody help?

I have seen the In addition, the user has to be smart enough to
