Following along with this thread, I kept wondering whether you were
maintaining "Project Paths" across both environments, but the .OCA dialog
kind of threw me off.

VB is very 'pissy' (can I use that word here?) about "paths". There are
several solutions when you share a project among multiple developers.
1) Make sure each developer has an identical hiearchy, or
2) Use a source code control system such as VSS or WinCVS. Create a separate
sandbox\project for each developer and 'share' components and modules out of
a common project with in the SSC database.
3) Don't share workspace files (.VBW) or group files (.VBG). Allow each
developer to maintain his own.

IMHO: Even if you are the only developer working on a project, not using a
source-control system - is just an accident waiting to happen.
