Hi Roger, We are on the same set up here (until we move to a DITA based CMS solution). I'm afraid you can't get SourceSafe to work in the way you want, due to the locks it puts on files that are checked out. As only one person can have binary files checked out to their local drives at any one time, other users would have to wait until they have they have been checked in, then check them out themselves.
SourceSafe can handle multiple checkouts on ASCII files, but binary files like graphic and Framemaker files are a no go I'm afraid.

I seldom post here but read the digests with great interest. So, now I have a question. Is there a way to keep a folder of graphic files in SourceSafe checked in and import them by reference into FrameMaker? Our goal is for all of our writers to share the same graphics files and when one writer had to update the file, it would update for each of us. We are using MS Visual SourceSafe 6.0 and FrameMaker 7.2. We have tried to research this issue on the Internet and found nothing, so I though someone on this group may be doing this now if it is possible at all. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
