Thanks again.
Is it possible to have a FPSE web project with SourceSafe in remote site?
I want to update the source code of remote site automatically while I
check-in
file into VSS 2005 db each time. How to set up?
Currently, I have a web project with sourcesafe control in a remote site.
I can open the web project from my local machine by selecting VSS db, then
I'll
get a copy of the project in my local machine, however each time I check in
files
into VSS db, the remote site won't be updated.
What will happen if I open a remote web project (w/ source safe) via FPSE?
not via VSS db option.

Yes. You'll need VSS installed on the remote machine, then configure the
website in IIS manager to use SourceSafe as External source control
provider.
The configuration steps depends on the OS type on the remote machine. See if
this page helps or if not search the web for "frontpage and sourceSafe"

Then on the client machine, open the website in VisualStudio using
File/Open/WebSite/RemoteSites. You don't need VSS installed on client
machine to work with this website.

With FPSE, you don't update the source code in website when you checkin in
VSS, it's the other way around.
All users working on this web project work work on the same files (directly
in the remote website), and the website can be configured on the server to
use VSS(External) as backend to keep history. I suggest to read the help and
Msdn about web projects in VS2005.

If you have opened the projects from VSS dabase
(File/Open/WebSite/SourceControl), those projects are using file-share
access, not FPSE.
If you have file share access to the machine you want automatically updated,
and want to work with file-share webs, you can use Sourcesafe's Shadow
Folders feature and set a shadow folder from the $/website to the remote
share \\remotemachine\wwwroot$\website. See more information about shadow
folders here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/byx8tbka.aspx. Then in
VS2005 you can continue to use the local copy of the web (opened either as a
localdisk web or localhost web), and VSS will take care of updating the
shadow folder on checkin (updating this way the files in the remote
machine's share). You need VSS on client in this config, and you don't need
it on the server.

This way is like the isolated development environment?
simliar to Visual InterDev 6.0 + VSS 6.0 model?

This IS the isolated development model.

I'm not very familiar with VID6, but I think it used
FrontPageServerExtensions, so if I'm correct VID was more like RemoteSites
in VS2005 (which is non-isolated development).
The isolated/non-isolated terms are explained in this article

_ch2.asp
(a bit old, since it targeted VS2002, but still a good reading to know where
you want to go)
