Hello there,

I don't know that this is too hard, but I can't seem to get it to
work.  I'm trying to automate some of my installation build steps and
I'm simply trying to check out some files at this point.  I know I
have to use ss checkout, but it's just not working for me.

What exactly do I have to include in the script to be able to access
the source safe database that is located on a remote machine.

Can I change to the directory containing ss.exe locally, but still act
upon the remote vss database?  Or, do I have to know where ss.exe is
on that remote machine.

Do I have to set any variables in the script in any way so that it
hits the remote database.

Lets say the database is located on \\fs2\MyDirectory\Vss\Version8.0.
What would a sample script look like to checkout $/Ver8.0/Build
Environment/Script8.bld?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Is it difficult to code something in VB.NET to do the same thing.  The
reason I ask this is because I comment the items on checking in with
the latest version of my build.  I could code something to read a log
that is generated to grab the version from there and then use to
comment.

Again any help is welcomed!

Thanks in advance!
