[AccessD] SourceSafe

Jim,

I didn't do the server install. I do think they purchased a server license and not just installed from the Visual Studio License. But all the developers are using there own Visual Studio VSS License.

I think we use Enterprise VS too.  So how did you install on the network?  Or is it just a matter of creating a db on a shared drive/folder?

I think my question really is "Is there any reason or advantage to buying the product and using the client copies we already license?".

Thanks,

Jim DeMarco

Sorry Jim. We use the enterprise version of Visual Studio which has VSS
included. Works ok as far as I know on the network although a little buggy.

The bugs we have encountered can't be reproduced and happen a couple of
times per year. It seems as though we loose changes to code every now and
then (not sure if this is user error). Also, we have noticed that an
application works fine while it is in VSS but will sometimes corrupt when
making a non-VSS version. When I say corrupt I'm referring to Access giving
strange runtime errors that you would think are related to dll hell. The
weird thing is, they go away over time(like a day or two). Like I said, very
hard to reproduce, but when it happens...

Can I get us back on track to my original question?  Is there a difference
between VS version and stand-alone with regard to network/shared access to
the code database?  Don't want to spend money on what we've already got.

Thanks,

Out of curiousity, has anyone tried SourceGear Vault?
I've heard good things about it (including the announcement by Joel that it
integrates with FogBugz).

I've never seen Charles choice either -- I'd like to hear more about it.
Although VSS worked really well. I've never actually used it in a production
environment, just played with it so I could review it.
