We tried it long ago (version 6 I think) and it had a lot of rough spots that made it unworkable for us. If I remember correctly (and it was a while ago) the main problem was that it didn't deal with outside changes very well - for example if somebody added a file to the working directory and didn't add it to the system it didn't show up in SourceSafe at all. > Also... on the same note... does anyone recommend using a > different software solution and if so why? We're using StarTeam (by StarBase, recently bought by Borland) and really like it. It's got some rough edges (what doesn't) but it works very well in a shared web environment. The problem above, for example, is solved: StarTeam shows such a file in the tool, but with a status of "Not in View". The tool is very complete: threaded discussion groups, defect management, change request management, etc - and everything can be linked to everything else (so you can have a business owner make a change request which is assigned to a developer, linked to a file attachment and a discussion thread on the problem and finally linked to the files that must be edited). StarTeam does require a server however (although the client is about the same as SourceSafe)... So it might be a little pricey for a small shop.
