.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Source Safe / August 2007How to unlink files from sourcesafe?
I want to get some files from sourcesafe and remove their links to sourcesafe permanently but leave the sourcesafe copy untouched. My case is that I want to make some temporary changes for those files in VS2005 but any change will trigger checkout automatically. But there is no reason to checkout since I don't want any temporary changes to go back to sourcesafe.

If you want to edit a file without a checkout, just remove read-only attr from the file and edit. HTH. Hi Julian, When I get the Latest Files from sourcesafe, I already get them out as writeable. The problem is that the VS2005 will enforce saving any changes of those files back to sourcesafe. If you go to VS2005, there is a Source Control section and you can change the settings for Edit and Save.

Hi Julian, Thank for trying and I have resolved this issue. Peter > Peter escribió: > > Hi Julian, [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> > >> HTH. Use the VSS explorer to do a Get Latest on the files and select the Make Writeable option. This assumes you are using VSS 6.0d. I cannot say about later versions of SourceSafe, but I doubt it is radically different. As an alternate, simply go into your Windows Explorer where the files are located at and right-click on the folder and uncheck the Read-Only selection. Hope one of these helps.

Hi Richard, When I get the Latest Files from VS6 sourcesafe, I already get them out as writeable. The problem is that the VS2005 will enforce saving any changes of those files back to sourcesafe. If you go to VS2005, there is a Source Control section and you can change the settings for Edit and Save. Edit has an option for no action but Save does not.
