I am setting up SourceSafe for a web-based 3-tier
project. I have setup IIS 5.1 on Windows XP Professional
and installed Visual Sourcesafe as part of Visual Studio
6.0 installation.

Hi Christopher,
Two weeks ago, you wrote a mail about my Vss problem and
said that I
should use SSPURGE Utility to purge deleted files. But I

I've got a valid license for VSS 6.0c. Am I eligible to use it for 6.0d as
well, or would I have to buy a different license? I searched the MS Web
site but was unable to find the answer to this question.

Hi...
yesterday we moved and splitted our sourcesafe database (located in the
default folder so far) to new locations.
We had no problems except that our one webproject is not accessible any

we have following problem: one development team is working
on a .net project bound to source safe database A (located
in a different country). The source safe database is
automatically transferred to another source safe database

I want to simply move the ssafe database from one drive to another on the
same machine. I tried doing it and haven't found a way to point a visual
Interdev project to that new database. It insistes on the old one and there
seems to be no interface to choose database locations.

 Hmm, I wasnt able to select any drive except C:\ (and just add network
mounts) but I have like 4 other drives local but theyre not listed.
 Workaround. I have to enter the path manually to create the Database.
Stupid bug.

does anyone have a link to information on future SourceSafe version?
does MS still work on it (more than just changes for integration in VS.NET)
?
dates of new version release (roadmap)?

Does anyone have experience with multiple check-outs? What kinds of problems
can occur? What about merging different versions?
TIA,
Markus

My company is about to "go live" with a VSS database exclusively
comprised of WORD, EXCEL and PDF files.  Right now, there are 2+ gigs
of files.
I am wondering how bad this database will be when the 20 users start

I have Wins XP, do I need WinXP ADMIN right to install
the VSS v6.0c upgrade.
Thanks for your assistance

I am using VS.net 2003, and would like to also use Visual SourceSafe.
I red almost all help topics on VSS but I could not find answers to
questions such as:
-is VSS part of VS.net Professional delivery?

Can anyone tell me how to get VSS to display each file's
version number in the VSS Explorer file pane as VSS help
indicates can be done?
In VSS 6.0d Help, Version Control and VSS,  it states the

I am struck with not being able to see the history of all
files in one particuler folder. If I click on show history
the following error pops up,
"File <database path>\vlibaaaa may be corrupted"

Can I load VSS on a windows box and have different
development and production environments - we have both
windows and unix platforms.
