Using VSS I set up user subdirectories that I check the files out into. mydevserver/john would have my current work plus everything else checked into. I think it's set up as a shadow folder. When I checked it in it would go to mydevserver/ and everyone could see the changes. Once I check out a file no one can edit it until I check it back in. Only drawback is you need to remind people to "get latest" before they check out a file. Rule of thumb is check in all files at end of day and get latest at beginning of day. I could also see what someone else is working on by going to his or her directory. Another advantage is you can work on global pages like Application.cfm without taking the whole team out.
