Hi everyone,

I work at a small non IT company. I'm one of two programmers. Each of us has
a stand alone version of SourceSafe installed on our local machines, pointed
at the database that is kept on a local server. Should we have the Database
server installed on the server and clients on our local machines? What would
be the advantage of this?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
