i used VSS with CF for 2 years and it worked just fine. the main thing is
just make sure people actually USE it. we had some people who would open up
files outside of VSS for a "quick" change which always caused problems.

I've been using VSS for years now, back from my VB coding days, and I've
been using the integration with CF Studio since I started CF coding. I'm
yet to experience any problems. I lie... I had a problem with CF4.5 when it
first came out where it wasn't updating the checked out status, but I've
certainly never lost any code or corrupted any projects using it.
Make sure that you keep all the files in your web folder as well as checking
them in, i.e. DON'T select the preference to delete files when you check
them back in to VSS. This will ensure that you have a copy of the project
in VSS and also on the disk.
And I guess the usual advice... Take backups!!! Sorry Russell, but two
weeks without a backup? ;^) Man, I'm lucky to go a week without backing
up nowadays... I've had too many of those... 'OH F*#K' moments!!!
Incidentally, I haven't had a single one since I've been using VSS.
