I have years of source code in a VSS6 database.
I upgraded my VSS client to 2005.
I upgraded my IDE to VS2008.
I check out solutions/projects and open them in VS2008.
The problem is VS2008 does not 'know' they are already in Source Safe, even
though the mssccprj.scc file is in the project directory. I get the option to
'Add' the project to SS but nothing else.
If I Add the project under another project folder it works fine except now I
have an 'old' project and a 'new' project.
How can I link VS2008 with the existing Source Safe project?

Use the File, Source Control, Change Source Control... option. With it you
can Unbind and Rebind a local project to a specific Source Control path.
Note that there is an update for VSS 2005 that fixes some VS2008
incompatibilities.
