Newbie VB6/VSS Questions

I have just moved into a position in which my office is trying to integrate
VSS into their development process and we are having a lot of difficulty in
try to accomplish this. Essentially they have deveopled multiple VB 6.0
projects which share multiple objects but we cannot get VSS to see these as
shared objects. For example:

projecta.vbp includes folders "Forms", "Modules", "Class" and "Designers"
which each contain multiple files like "Forms/frmCalandar.frm"

projectb.vbp also includes folders "Forms", "Modules", "Class", and
"Designers" ect and includes the file "Forms/frmCalandar.frm"

Both projects carry shared objects from "Forms", "Modules" ect but also
carry unique objects from the same location

As far as directory structure it looks like this:

C:/Projects
C:/Projects/Forms
C:/Projects/Modules
ect

and the .vbp files are located in C:/Projects

I can get VSS to add each individual project but the tree is acting like
Forms, Modules, Class, and Designers are unique to each project and when I
share a file like frmCalandar.frm from projecta, it will not let me share
the same file from projectb but also does not treat them as the same file
(ie, it can be checked out from both projects at the same time).

I tried adding the shared object folders (ie: "Forms") to VSS as its own
project and sharring that, still no dice. Im stuck at this point with no
direction.

Please HELP!

Thanks,
Joleen
