Thomas good response.
Couple Follow-Ups
1) I can't imagine checking out a package that has over 20 items in it. I haven't tested this but it seems to me that if I checked out a package with 20 items then my co-developers would not be able to edit them. Is that correct?
2) We are looking at how we jointly modify our attribute views and other modeling objects. I'm suggesting that the modeler work in his/her own package area and then "refactor" that object to a package location that gets final testing before moving getting tranported up the landscape. Is this your recommendation or do you have another methodology?
