I want to print the full source safe documentation to my printer without opening every chapter. Is there a single button solution to do this?

Thanks for the tutorial. It was a good comprehensive overview. It would be nice to see some examples of the file structure for major releases, minor ones and test. Like you did in your branch example.

Kevin Gaoon, Al McNicoll, or anyone else:

How can you write VBA code for Access 2003 to check files into and out of VSS?
That is, not using VSS dialog boxes, but writing the code with VSS automation?

Hi Kevin,

thanks for sharing your knowledge of VSS.

Currently I’m looking for an answer to this problem:
At work we have a running website. We have a production server and a test server. Customer support sometimes uploads new images to alter custom pages. These uploads are done through a different webapplication.
Basically, so that customer support has no need to know anything about programming/servers/folders.

Resently we added our sourcecode to VSS directly from the ISS on the testserver.
Know, whenever customer support uploads a new image, we are unable to render the new image on the testserver.

We think we need to remove the image folder from the VSS, but are afraid to end up deleting all images instead.
Do you (or anyone else) have a suggestion for us as to how we can ensure that newly uploaded images are rendered correctly on both servers?

Do you have any information re using VSS over a internet connection.

I am part of a smal team of developers who are not in the same office and we really need something like VSS to help us

I just wanted to say thanks for the amazing tutorial. I have very little experience with VSS and I am trying to set it up in a small enviroment with only 2-3 developers, and this is exactly what I have been looking for. It’s short, simple, to the point, and answers all my questions.

Thanks!
Jason

Kevin,

Thank you so much for making this available to the public. I have used VSS sporadically over the years – never had to set it up myself until now. I figured reviewing a tutorial before I begin would be a good thing – glad I did.

This was a great overview.
