We are planning to set VSS on Shared network Drive..but the question is how do we set it up and how do we acess it?

Wen we do 'DIff' between Project1 and Project2 and get the differed file,I want to merge the differed file to any of the project with different name how can I do that?

How do I get connected to databse which is not resided in VSS?

Answer at the earliest will be appreciated.

Thanks.

First off, there really is no "resident" part of VSS. There is no server component to VSS. There is just a file tree that serves as the database that the VSS client (vss explorer or the IDE integrated tools) talks to.

I'm not clear on your second point.


I would highly recommend looking at Microsoft's "Team Development with Visual Studio .NET and Visual SourceSafe" patterns and practices white paper.

I have implemented many of the recommendations at 2 organizations and it has seemed to work out well so far.
