>>Hi Tracy,
>>Thanks for the link. But I don't have a problem there - my VS2008 is working well with other local VSS servers. The choice of source control provider in this instance is not mine to make and I don't think the client would see TFS as warranted. I can access their system via VPN (or TS) if neccessary (and do occasionally use it to get an earlier version of something from VSS) but it would be nice to have this ability directly from VS.

That's working OK already - I can load a project from the remote VSS server. I can also do Check Out, Check In, UndoCheckOut and GetLatestvVersion on files in the project. I can even compare my version with the current VSS version. The only things missing that I particularly need are the abilities to view and/or roll back to earlier VSS versions - I'm not fussed about labeling, branching etc......
Regards,
Viv
