Application Development with Several Developers

If you have several developers working on your applications, you can use Visual FoxPro's ability to allow simultaneous access to database components. Also, for tracking and protecting changes to your source code, you can use source control programs with the Project Manager.

Let Several People Work on Database Objects   You can now modify tables and view definitions, without exclusive access to the database. Use the Refresh option on the Database menu – this reloads the database object definition to reflect any changes made by other users.

Use Source Code Control   You can use a source code control program such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe to coordinate and manage changes to applications you develop in Visual FoxPro. The Project Manager provides access to source code control on the Project menu.

For more information about working with several developers, see Planning for Team Development Projects.
