Hmm well lets see.... Hey you know what we actually do put all our code in VSS, who'd have thought.
But you know what, as an obviously not quite as professional as you developer I dont go and check code into VSS when it isn't complete, I keep my wip local. Just so happened I was working on something over the weekend so it wasn't going to be checked in until Monday morning. The error that required a restore trashed my ability to access anything including VSS before I restored... but tks anyway for that education in how real professional programmers work. --- In [email protected], Moss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Don't know about Vista but as a professional software developer you > should use some sort of source code versioning system like SVN or CVS. > Then you are not exposed to unwanted OS behavior.
