Thanks both Garrett and Kevin, I will give both solutions a look. Just as a matter of interest Kevin, does that handle Xojo projects as we may also be looking at taking that on board having used it myself for the last 2 years for personal projects.

Another vote for TwoFox to convert to-and-from VCX and SCX based files.

I've been using https://bitbucket.org/ for storing my projects.

BitBucket can use Git and Mercurial.

I like Mercurial better, but Git is much more popular by usage so I use Git.

I use Smart Git Hg ( http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/ ) because it runs on Windows and Linux (and Mac OS X).

We have MSDN so the latest Team Foundation is available but I must admit t knowing diddly squat about it!
