In our case files checked out by others still show as a red dot. It
is entirely possible that something isn't setup exactly right. Are
you working on shared projects with separate dev directories?
This is how I set it up:
Built VSS database against a baseline copy on dev.
In VSS admin set the db to "shadow" to that dir and the CustomTags
dir (I'm using this dir to deploy from) also set to NOT make these
files Read-Only (again for deployment reasons).
Create projects against dev dirs (each developer has own dev dir)
Also, projects are just WDDX packets and can be edited, so you only
need to create the project once.
Map project to source control.
I also created two projects against the baseline dir, one with deployment
mappings to production and another to the failover server. When the
deployment script is run it deploys to both locations.

| I just recently setup VSS for myself and another developer for the
| application we support. To answer your questions: The red dot shows
| which files are Read-Only, in this case not checked out. Checked out
| files are indicated with a green check mark. Unfortunately, it only
| seems to show a check mark for the files you have checked out, not the
| ones others have checked out. :( VSS won't let you check out one that's
| already checked out (assuming default configuration) but it would be nice
| if it was more apparent.
It is! Any files without a red dot, or a green check, are checked out by
someone else.
| (This could be different if the developers are
| sharing a dev directory.) Yes, you can right click check out and check
in.
|
| I had no trouble integrating VSS into my project file but we were unable
to
| integrate VSS with my co-worker's project, I'm using CF Studio 4.5.1 and
| she's using 4.5a. It will map but none of the right click functions are
| available. I recall hearing a rumor that projects in general are broken
in
| 4.5.2.
Myself and another developer both use prjects in 4.5.2 with VSS and
everything works fine, so far.
