Hi

I am using Vss Get Latest Version for a large project. This takes a long time - 15 minutes. I noticed that if I do the&nbsp;Get &nbsp;interactively, it is much faster - at least 3 times faster. Actually this isn't only from FinalBuilder - if I try a batch command using ss.exe , it is also very slow. Does anyone have a way to speed up the Vss Get? We are using version 6.0c of Vss.

Thanks - Daphna

One suggestion which might improve matters (but may not be practical) is gigabit ethernet. We upgraded our office network a while back and it made a huge difference to lots of apps (not source safe since we only really use it for testing).
