Hi Steve: I was working with SourceSafe on a computer in which .Net had been recently installed and similar problems started to happen. Subsequently, I attempted to install TeamServer services, the heir apparent piece of MS software. That failed as there were a number of other configurations that would have been necessary to accomplish the task. (It would have required that one of the main Servers would have to be re-installed and that was not going to happen as it had taken three weeks to initially get a completely clean-boot.) We finally went with an open source Linux product called Subversion and all the projects are now backed up through that method. It is not perfect especially if you simultaneously try to working on the same piece of code but with care it is a very cheap substitute. My two cents worth.

Used with Access over the years, it presents occasional problems, not terrible. But our problems have amplified since applying it to .NET projects. 1. When one user creates a new object and checks it in, other users can't see it (after attempting to Get Latest Version). Yet the object is clearly seen in the Source Safe project itself. 2. Adding or deleting an object to a VB.NET project seems to require that the person have the entire project checked out to them (unlike the way it works in Access). Has anyone else encountered these things? If so, are there solutions? Or...if these are just known VSS hassles, do you have any suggestions about other source control solutions that work well with .NET? Thank you!
