It may well *not* be on your machine -- I seem to recall, as you do, that DWMX doesn't use the VSS API and hits the files directly which certainly cuts down on licensing costs. Keep in mind that the VSS "application" costs something like $400/developer (or is free if you've paid for a $$$ MSDN subscription). Accessing the VSS repository directly using DWMX should alleviate having to license individually for each developer except for one copy to manage the repository... though I really don't know the details of the MS licensing. Not to mention the fact the licensing is changing when MS releases the new team tools (including source control) that are bundled in the next Visual Studio. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
