Hi again
The best way to work on a LAN is to use the LAN as a simple
repository. Imagine you have three authors. You store a complete
copy of your project in a LAN location. Author 1 needs to
make changes. They copy the project to their local hard drive and
make changes. When finished, they copy it back to the LAN. Author 3
then needs to make a copy. They copy from the LAN, make changes and
copy back to the LAN.
With source control, you can actually configure it so the
"Working Directory", the temporary sandbox used to make updates, is
a folder on your hard drive. The actual source files are on a LAN,
but as you work on the project, the files you work on are copied to
your local drive while you work on them until you check them back
in. At that point, they are copied back to the LAN.
Cheers... Rick
