Sonner or later we will lose hours of work. Can it be stopped?

Hi there,

I have two computers networked peer to peer.

A friend and myself are currenly working on the same VB project. He's taking care of some aspects of the project - mainly interface design and putting in graphics here and there, and I do the code behind the controls.

The problem is when we're working on the project at the same time. If I make a lot of changes to the project, like add lots of new code, for him to be able to see and use the new changes from his computer, he has to exit the program, I have to save it, and then he has to open it again.

It's dangerous - I mean sooner or later there's going to be a disaster - like I'll go on my lunchbreak after putting in a ton of code, he'll save the project from his computer, and all my stuff wil be lost - or vice versa.

Is there anyway around this, like some sort of refresh button in VB6, so we can see the most recently made changes to the program?

Thanks for any help

Look into using source safe.

I know what you're trying to say, the answer is no (I am 99% sire). How ever I have an idea for you. You could open the project on your computer, write all of the code and then save it as a txt file, and then your friend could open it and paste the code.

Good Luck!!!
