>I'm using it semi-successfully. :-) Currently, we're sharing the project, but when the objects are checked out, nobody else can get them, even though the project is set to allow multiple checkouts. This is good enough for our purposes, actually: we can live without merging code at the moment, as long as we don't stomp on each other's code in the first place...

>We are able now to share the project, where we couldn't before. Is everyone using 'Update Project List'? You all need to do this to keep your local copies of the project in sync. Read the VFP instructions on how to use source control _carefully_. :-)


"Is everyone using 'Update Project List'? " Very good point that I felt needed to be reinforced. If 3 developers are working on a project using VSS and developer1 adds a new form to his/her local project and puts it under source control, the other 2 will not see the new form in the project until first developer1 Updates Project List and then the other 2 do the same. Even though the new form is in VSS the Project Metafile (*.PJM) needs to be updated.

One gotcha to note is that when Update Project List is chosen it leaves the PJM file checked out after completion and ,unless someone knows another way, must be Checked In using VSS Explorer.
