I would say it's useful for small projects only.
When we were using it we found the database kept getting corrupted every week or so and that was for max 20 people acessing the database.

Some questions can't be answwered.
Who said that SourceSafe is the defacto standard? Seems to me it's CVS.

The other survey might suggest just that: Source Code and Version control[^]
Version control is often enforced by the company, so it's not always the best tool that wins the game.

CVS is probably the tool of choice whenever one has a choice. It's a de facto standard on Unix, for small, medium and large projects. It's also the most popular over the Internet.

Ah, I see. Clearly that's a fact I had missed/
I actually enjoyed using VSS when I did, but the last two places I've worked have ignored it; and I thought I was a trend here on CP of CVS being recommneded over VSS.

Not on Windows, hence the clarification in the poll saying "Windows." CVS is seen as the choice of the Unix/Linux crowd. SourceSafe the "choice" of the Windows crowd.
Remember SourceSafe comes with Visual Studio for most Windows developers.

Just for the record, the "choice" of the Windows crowd is CVSNT[^] rather than the classic, Unix'y CVS. Those without choice use SourceSafe

Exactly, just what that other chap was saying. That most developers do not have the choice is obvious, hence SourceSafe is the most used on Windows.

"My company tells me I have to use it, and therefore I do."
I didn't see that option.
We just got done implememting a LIMS system and there were three of us using it. We all workied on different parts of code. Though the company demanded that if we did any work from home, we log into the company network (and VSS) to access our code.
We just wanted to work on our files at home and update them the next morning. Which in our interest, would have worked.
Anybody else use it cause company policy dictates it?
