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.
