Could I share SAME files? you can work on a COPY of that file and VSS will basically mark these as 2 versions >2) I linked VSS 5.0 to VFP 5.0a, therefore, when I create a new project or >file, VSS will create automatically. However, when I created/added a new >class, VSS refused to create in VSS project and told me the class lib was >opening. I am not sure what you are saying here - do you mean VSS told you the class lib was already open ? >3) What is the function of "SHARE" ? It seems only duplicate the project. because only one person can change a single file at a given time (to prevent overwriting and or changing something while the other one thinks athe code is there etc.) sharing means you create a seperate copy to work with then you can decide which copy is better etc. - if you share the whole project you will get a 2nd copy of the whole project Arnon
