Hi,
We are using visual source safe and are constantly getting requirements for extra developments into the system.
Each requirement is identified by a SystemRequirementID (SRID).
question:
How can I keep the requests in sync with the development in Dev and Prod environment?
For example, I want to be able to release an .exe for SRID = 5, 8, 9, 12
etc.

Thanks

Just in case you don't know, VSS is in its end of life phase at Microsoft.
With VSS, the one way I have handled this issue in the past was to tag production releases. That way you have a concrete way of getting a given version at a given time.
