    Its a way of providing revision control to your code. It works at project level as well as being OK to use by individuals. You have to book your code in and out in order to work on it.

    It is normally hosted on a coporate server somewheres, and it comes as standard with the Enterprise edition of VB. Alternatively you can fork out the folding stuff to buy it stand alone.

    You can host the VSS in the Common directory without having to install the server part but this is only for a single user.

    You can think of it kind of like a Library where you have to check books in and out in order to use them.
