Peter, Well in retrospect that is what I should have done as I didn't notice the initial corruption or when it happened and more important WHY! The existing forms etc have been checking in no problem at all but retrieving ANY older version just results in an error on ALL forms all versions!
Garrett, thanks for that, I'll take a look.

I just modify a batch file to include the stuff I want, then this gets copied to a server that gets backed up and I zip it up there, test the zip file and done. Any large mods on a form say and I will go to the next number myform1 myform2 etc. Then your new version can't screw up the old one. I do find VSS a bit clunky and had a brief look round when I went to windows 7 but nothing struck me as easy to use where I could also import the VSS data. Maybe I'll have to review them again.
