Excel in SourceSafe ???
 

Where do people keep their spreadsheets and macros?
Is it possible to use Source Safe for this?
We want to store them in a safe place and control check-
in/check-out.

Excel in SourceSafe ???
 

I am aware of SourceSafe, but I use StarTeam. The concepts, however,
are very similar. The specifics may be different.

When I first develop a VBA application, I save it with a "good" name,
then ADD it to my configuration software. With StarTeam I get to assign
a "label" and provide a comment about the revision I am "checking in."
When I need to revise the app, I perform a "checkout" of the current
version. Getting the current version is automatic.

So, daily routine is, checkout, perform code changes and testing, then
checkin at the end of day. I always use a label, such as Rev 1.1, Rev
1.2, or BETA 0.1, etc. I also ALWAYS use the comments to describe what
changes are in the code. This has saved my bacon more than once.
If I need to revert to a previous revision, I can perform a checkout
using the correct label.

This works like a charm for me.

Your mileage may vary.

Just my .02
