Problems w/ Visual Source Safe 2005


my team recently moved to Visual Source Safe 2005 from VSS6 (since we migrated to Windows 7) and we've been seeing intermittent problems of files disappearing.

Does anyone know what may cause this to occur? We have a team in the US, but also a development team in India, and we access the same files... From what my developers say, it's only occurring on the files that are shared by both teams. I know there was a timezone issue with VSS2005, but I'm not sure what would solve it.

Thanks in advance guys!


Solution

  • You're seeing files disappear because you're using Visual SourceSafe.

    See Source Control: Anything but SourceSafe. You'll be glad you did. There's no excuse to still be using VSS today.
