My company's development department uses MS Visual Studio to check files in and out and keep projects organized.

I prefer to use Dreamweaver to edit HTML/CSS on my Mac because of it's much larger display. I have my own server running a local copy of our web application, and use Visual Studio just to check files in and out, and as a project management tool.

Can Dreamweaver check a file out on my local server copy of the site and lock it from edits by others using Visual Studio?

I think there is an option in your ftp setup to allow this. It is definately possible. That sounds like it would be quite the pain in the posterior to have to switch to visual studio just to upload your files.

Yeah, I'll have to take a look at the FTP settings. I know there's an option to allow for Check In/Check Out that locks files from other users while you're editing, but I don't know if others will see it as locked, since they're exclusively using Visual Studio.

hmm... Do you work in a larger company? I've never worked in a setting where I would have to use it but I know I've seen the dialog.

Also is your name wiener? I work with a guy with that last name. He actually co writes some of the comics I do.

Tkae Care,

You might find that Visual Studio allows you to specify Dreamweaver as your external code editor. If it doesn't let you do that, then there may be an extension you can install, to let you do that.

Here's the thing, Visual Studio's on the Windows Server PC, and Dreamweaver is on a Mac.
