RH7 and TFS of VSS

[Casper_Lange]

Robo Source Control 3.0 is not performing as expected. We experience a lot of crashes and have to rebuild our project every week.
Does anyone have experience with Team Founcation Server or Visual Source Safe? Is this more stable. Is it as easy to integrate with RH7 as RSC (are the topics checked out automatically, etc?)

Thanks for answering.

Hi Caspar

Personally, I've used Microsoft Visual Source Safe (VSS) in the past. However, I did not use it "integrated" with RoboHelp. I was using it separately for managing RoboHelp projects long before Source Control was a twinkle in the eHelp developer's eyes.

In my experience, VSS was always rock solid. But I have no frame of reference how it would behave if integrated into RoboHelp, where you have an API handling things.

I wouldn't claim that RoboSource Control is buggy. Only that I notice far more questions posted on it than I see answers. I suppose if I were still working in the corporate world where I had servers available, I might be able to test things and provide more answers on it. As it stands, all I can do is operate locally. And I don't feel that's a valid test. I think the biggest issue with it is a lack of user base. The more users you have, the more likely you see answers where someone has been down the same road you have.

I do wish you the very best of luck in finding answers.

Cheers... Rick
