Paired file version numbers are different; Visual FoxPro

[dlowrey]

Question
1. Is there a way to manually edit the version number of a file?
2. Why are my paired files showing different version numbers?

Facts
I am testing Vault without IDE integration. In VFP, file pairs are checked out together, and we are careful to check them in together. File pairs are those objects which require two files, such as forms and class libraries (myform.scx, myform.sct, myclasslib.vcx, myclasslib.vct). For reasons that I cannot explain, sometimes after check in, one of the file's version number is incremented, the other is not. Since the files are dependent on each other, it seems to me that they should always have the same version number.

Any insight would be most appreciated.

It is probably the case that your options are set to uncheck out a file that gets checked in, but hasn't actually been changed. Foxpro probably made modifications to only one of the pair files (even though both were checked out), so when Vault went to check the files in, it only checked in the one that actually changed.

You can change this in Tools->Options->Check In so that the files are always checked in, even if they have not changed.

That said, there is no way to set a file at a certain version - you would have to manually check it in a bunch of times (without changes) to get the version number caught up with the other pair file.
