Basically I am trying to figure out a better way to have a given version of a given program preserved while I move on with development. For instance, I publish and distribute a version of an application, lets call this version 1. To support version 1's userbase I need to have a copy of that code, database, and other pieces that make up my application so I can debug here if necessary. Now I have version 1.5 in development that has some simple, and some not so simple changes to all the assets of version 1. See where I am going. It was easy in VFP, (inzip your application folder and you were good to go), with .NET, SF, DDT, BO projects, security projects, version control, etc I am just not sure what is the best way to go as we start having some more stuff out there in he world in different flavors and versions to support.
This is probably something some of you take for granted and I would appreciate your opinions. I have several products now that I have to maintain the environment described above. Keith Chisarik
