Syncing a single VSS database across several machines
-
Hi all, I'm a home-based developer who has a single desktop machine with Visual SourceSafe 6 installed. I recently purchased a notebook. I'd like to know how can I share a single codebase between the 2 computers, considering that they will not always be connected to each other. i.e. I want to be able to sync both machines, take my notebook offsite, make various code changes to the notebook's VSS database, and later reconnect the 2 machines and sync the changes with my desktop machine's VSS database. Can I use XP Pro's Offline Files capabilities to keep both versions in sync? Is it safe to just sync the files under VSS\data? Does anyone have any alternative suggestions or caveats? Many thanks, Gary

Visual SourceSafe is client/server architecture.so I think that you'd better build vss server which the notebook access on your desktop machine your friend:bobi
