We only have 3 people. We use VSS and it is less work than that. (It is also much less prone to error.)

>VSS is really the way to go if you want to be able to revert to previous versions etc. It also provides a good way to do team development. However, we found it too cumbersome for our small programming team to use. What we do is we keep a "live" copy of our development project on the server. We split up the work into segments between the programmers so that we are not all working on the same program/screen/class/etc. at the same time. We just keep track of what each programmer is working on in a spreadsheet that we can all access on the server. Then we track in another spreadsheet every file that we change and a brief description of the change we make. Once we complete the version we make a copy of the "live" copy of the project into a folder that says the version number (i.e. "Version 2.1". And we then setup up two new spreadsheets for the next version and start over again.
