Hi all on cp, One question doesn't leave me sleep in the night, Is there a solution for several developers to work on the same vc++ project at the same time?? I dont know it, but I need it so much it exists... I will thank any comment about it. Thanks. :(( Just two words: Universe::~Universe()

Yes, there are several. The generic name for the solution is "Concurrent Versioning System" or "Change Management Software", or something like these. Within Visual Studio there is a product named "Visual SourceSafe". It's not the best thing in the world, but for a small team located on the same LAN, it just works. I see dumb people

Visual SourceSafe is a great start. Regards, Alvaro

YOu have lots of options. Just do a google search on SCM or version control. If you are straped in the budget area; CVS is reliable, free, and reasonably easy to set up. My personal prefrence is Perforce. goodluck. "Veni, Vidi, Booyah!" - Ceasar

I've used SourceSafe both for my own applications at home, for remote clients and at very large shops (IBM, Peachtree, Equifax, etc.). It works extremely well. Don't be fooled into buying something like PVCS thinking that it must better because it's more expensive. The only thing PVCS does better than SourceSafe is branching, which is not something most people have to do. Regarding multiple concurrent developers, the only thing to be wary of are things like resource files and such that do not merge well (simply due to how the resources are automatically numbered by Visual Studio). At various shops we simply defined the rule that this file could not be checked out by more than one person at a time. If you do run into problems with your resource file in this environment, you can always use Anna's great resource id editor[^] that will automatically go through and fix the numbers for you.
