How can my projects use certain versions of a toolbox?

Hi, everybody

Here's a simple thing (I hope!) that don't how to achieve in VSS. Can anyone
help?

I want my projects to use certain versions of a toolbox. Sometimes I want a
project to start using a newer version of the toolbox. I thought that some
kind of sharing and pinning would do the job but how??

Consider the following scenario:

I have a toolbox that I want to use in several projects, among them ProjA.
The toolbox is a VSS project called $/Toolbox. After some work, I put the
label "R1" on the toolbox and then share that labelled version to ProjA. The
$/ProjA/Toolbox files are pinned. ProjA is now using a specific version of
my
toolbox. So far so good.

I then do some more work in $/Toolbox and label it "R2". After that I do
even more work in $/Toolbox. How can I make ProjA use version "R2" of the
Toolbox??? I have even tried the command line to pin and unpin several files
at a time, but ...

The label "R2" of $/Toolbox does not show up when looking at the history of
$ProjA/Toolbox, so I can't do like this:

  SS PIN $/ProjA/Toolbox/*.* -VL"R2"

Any help appreciated! Is there a completely different, better way to handle
multiple versions of a toolbox in several projects?

Well, the labels aren't there, but the versions are. Unfortunately, to get
the newer version of lots of files this way, you'll probably have to delete
everything and re-share.

I'm sure others here have some ideas. If only they'll share them. :)
