Was curious if anyone uses version control software for form development. We want to take the next step from folders and "save as". What do people use and any hints on how you make it work with VFE form development?
Thanks so much,

Hi David, I am not sure if this is helpful or not, but I wanted to share with you a technique I use. At the bottom left of each VFE form, i put a text "This form was last updated on 4-24-2013. Then I have a ? box that says "What's New". When users click on the ?, it shows what's new with this version. I found that to be helpful and it help faciliate communication to users on changes. Here is a screenshot of a form

I use Tortoise SVN for version control/back-up. It is free, and I have been using it for a while before I started doing VFE forms. I have a few other people that modify the forms, so we needed this to help keep everyone's changes in one place. I use it for my C++, C#, and php files as well.

Mike, where do you send your files with Tortoise? I use git and github for my projects (not VFE) But I would like to see how some one else deployed version control for VFE and crystal reports.

I have a SVN repository set up on a remote server that I commit my changes to. So, it makes access fairly restrictive unless you set up another person with a username/password to get into the repository.
