Mark,
As another alternative, perhaps your traveling developer can do a get latest
on the code before he/she leaves the office; when doing this, make the
project files writeable.
Upon return, the developer can then check out any form/module changed and
set the "Replace Writeable" option to Merge. This will apply any changes
already in VSS with the changes on the local machine. The updated
form/module is then checked back into VSS.
A possibility?!
