>No, a one-person team can get a lot out of VSS, too -- it isn't just for multiple developers. It allows you to save past versions of your files, so when you go "damn, this worked last week", you can actually go back and see what you changed between last week and this week.

If I am changing the functionality of a form, I copy the SCX, SCT files to a SAVE subdirectory. I don this whenever I am going to change something that might screw something up. After x-number of months, I delete the SAVE directory. This method has served me well. If this is the only reason to learn how to use VSS, I will pass at this time. And therefore I would probably fail that section of a test.

Take care,
