I will pre-empt and say we are stuck using VSS here so changing it is not an option.

Anyway, one person, 'user a' is deleting a file from their project. They then do a 'get latest' on the folder and it doesn't come back, so the user assumes they have truely deleted it from the project.

We have another user, 'user b', who then looks at 'pending checkins', sourcesafe will then do a scan of all the files in 'user b's project. It then wants to 're-add' all of the files user a deleted.

This has caused a huge headache for the team. Any suggestions to stop this from happening again?
