Hello,
I have had the same problems with Visual FoxPro 5 and 6. I am unsure about VFP7. For some reason the way MSFT wants to have projects in VFP, and now I assume .NET is to have a local copy on each developers machine. In VFP's case they want to make a PJM file that the developer checks in and out. In spite of the fact that the project is two different files. I think it is unwise not to have VFP project files (essentially the build script) not under source control. What we do is check out the project outside of the VFP IDE. We make it +w on the clients. It causes some problems.
With regards to your unspecified errors, that happens as well in VFP. It can't handle the idea of a changelist. If you try and move files out of the default change list, you have to use p4 or p4win. It seems that perforce should be able to deal with this effectively. They need to put up it.
With regards to SQL Server objects such as stored procedures. We are developing scripts that create the objects. So, we have a file called create_usp_foo.sql that creates usp_foo in the specified database. So, far it works pretty well. What I would like to do is get the DTS scripts in perforce as well.

While most of our developers are using Perforce, our IS department continues to use Source Safe. Their reason for using Source Safe is that it allows them to easily check-in and check-out database objects (not files). By this I mean the SQL procedures that are a part of the database. They have a database development tool called SQL Navigator which has a plug-in for Source Safe.
I am trying to make a case for them to switch from Source Safe to Perforce, but I need to find a solution that addresses this need. Preferably, there would be a tool such as SQL Navigator that has an interface to Perforce. I was hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I would rather not have to develop a tool myself, but if I must, any hints along these lines would also be most helpful.
