>1. What should the steps be to get the development changes reflected in production? Do we unpin production, label it, and pin it again?

Well, you should have some form of documentation to follow what you are doing so everyone knows. We have a release document that our build person uses to make all necessary changes to production when new source code is released. For example reference table updates, HTML templates, etc.

As far as VSS is concerned you need to do what you described above.

>2. How do we get the shadow folder to automatically reflect the latest version without having to do a 'get latest version'?

It could be done through VFP integration ,the project hook class and OLE automation. However, it could become confusing after time as to what and when things are happening. Too risky IMO...

>3. How do we unpin all files at one time in a project?

Never tried to do that...
