Question

Microsoft SourceSafe

Hello all,

I did a search to find an answer but didn't come up with much.

We use Microsoft SourceSafe here at my company. There are only two web developers working here, myself and one other. The problem I'm having is trying to get Dreamweaver 8 to play nice w/ VSS. The main issue is that DW will hang everytime I complete an action like checking in /out a file. When I do save a file, if I have "refresh list automatically" enabled, it will take FOREVER for the project to refresh.

It seems like the only way I can overcome this is to uninstall and then reinstall DW. Then, it will work fine for a month but then exhibit the same symptoms. It makes development a pain in the neck. My coworker uses a different API and has no problems. I happen to like DW so I would love to find a solution.

Help!

Mike

    You can try CVS instead of VSS. It's free.

    Thanks

    Visual SafeSource is not a very good Version Control system. If you can switch gears and get something else you should look at Surround SCM or Subversion (if you need something free).

    Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

    I am curious to know what IDE he is using for development. If it is an MS product then that answers part of your question.

    Frank,

    He uses Eclipse, an open source EDI. It's not a Microsoft product.

    Thanks,
