And to add on Erik's views: We do keep the generated exe/dll files in CVS too, in contradiction to what many say (CVS being a *source* control system etc). The reason is much the same but worse: It is in reality impossible to recreate an accurate exe from past sources because so much in the developer's PC influence the compile process. For example if someone has a newer version of DAO installed when the old sources are compiled then this gets included in the exe and now it will not run on the client machine that has not got this update. There are tons of other cases as well. So my view is that the final product should also be there so it can be easily grabbed on a tag or date by anyone. /Bo PS: Thanks to all that answered my original question about the VS6 files and DLL declaration!

Confirmed. In fact MS explicitly discourages you from puttin .opt and others under version control, since they are specific to the local machine. You can look it up in the MSDN Library. [snip] Torsten, I was looking at MSDN trying to find where they recommend not placing .opt (and possibly other project files) under source control and I couldn't find it. Can you provide a link to the msdn online page or the chapter and heading where you found this information. We use CVSNT/WinCVS for our Fortran Programs created in Visual Fortran which is not an MS product but which licensed the MS developer studio for its IDE. We do keep our project files in CVS mainly because there are so many settings and options available to the developer, some of which if set differently can result in different output generated from the same source code. I wonder how they suggest developers coordinate what IDE settings to use with a specific project if the project files are not under source control. Erik W. Warren Sr. Engineer - Flt. Ops.
