[AccessD] SourceSafe

Jim,

Unless you have finalized your decision to go with VSS, may I suggest
Merant's PVCS Version Manager, see www.merant.com.  We used VSS for
several years and decided to switch to VM a year ago and we haven't
regretted it.

We are in the process of purchasing Visual SourceSafe as we've really
not been managing our code up to this point.  My question is, is there a
difference between the stand-alone version and the version that ships
with Visual Studio (we have VS 6 licenses)?  I'm under the impression
that the VS version can't be run on our network but stand-alone is
designed for this.  Is this true?  I can't get a sense of this from the
M$ site.

TIA,
