We currently have a toolkit (ActiveX dll) stored in Source Safe and defined
with binary compatibility.
It has been maintained up to this point by only one person.

I want to take over ownership of the project.
I have never had the code on my machine.

After getting the latest version of the project from SS, what else do I need
to do to maintain binary compatibility?

Can anyone grab the code and build the project while maintaining binary
compatibility?

Thanks,

Rg

You need the file (DLL) that's being used as the compatibility model. Check the
compatibility settings. There should be a path to the Binary Compatible Component listed
there. Just make sure you have that file and it has all Public's defined. Here's a bit
more on the "basics"
