Dear all,

I have installed VSS 8.0 and create a new databse under our network.
I can access that database without any trouble using VSS client.

Then I try to access it through VSS 2005 by adding a selected project. I am
prompt to a wizard which ask me to select a database location. From that
wizard I select browse, but I am not able to see from it my network drives in
order to point to my databse location ???

Then I have copy the ini file to a local computer drive which have the path
to the network drive, but then I get error saying "Invalid source safe
database" or invalid DOS path if I have a mapped drive...

Entry in my ini files are as follow :

; The two important paths used by SourceSafe.
Data_Path =\\ecufls01.mu1.grp\psu$\PSU6_SRC\DATA
Temp_Path =\\ecufls01.mu1.grp\psu$\PSU6_SRC\TEMP

; This tells admin where to put personal directories for new users.
Users_Path = \\ecufls01.mu1.grp\psu$\PSU6_SRC\users

; From this, find users.txt; from that, in turn, find ss.ini for a user.
Users_Txt = \\ecufls01.mu1.grp\psu$\PSU6_SRC\users.txt

What is going on here? what I am doing wrong ?

thnask for help
regards

Hi serge,

> From that wizard I select browse, but I am not able to see from it my network drives in order to point to my databse location ???

I'm not sure why you are unable to browse the network drivers. But you
can enter the location "\\ecufls01.mu1.grp\psu$\PSU6_SRC\DATA" in the
Share Location page of that wizard. I think this should solve the
issue.

HTH,
