I have setup a VSS server in a domain with a number of
users having access to it. Since the users need to locate
the VSS .ini file, I shared the vss folder and gave read
permission to all the users. Quite natural.

The more I use SourceSafe the more I ask myself why?
I have no answers but I'm willing to listen to yours....
1. Why are so many dialog's fixed size?
2. Why can't I share files between the panes in the Project Difference

I would like to run analyze in unattended mode (as stated
in the command help) and schedule it weekly.  Problem is
that Analyze runs in a window which doesn't automatically

I have VS.NET 2003 and VSS both installed on my machine. My employer
uses both Clear Case and VSS for source control. I have a new project
where I want to use Clear Case as my sourcce control provider and have
it integrated with VS.NET.

I'm using Visual Studio.NET 2003 and Visual Sourcesafe 6.0d.

I seem to have lost connection with my VSS db and every time I go to check
out a file, it complains that it must do so disconnected.  How do I point it
back to my VSS db properly?
TIA,

I know that I should be doing some type of archival in order to keep my
Source Safe repository humming along nicely. I've been using VSS for over
five years now, but from a developer's perspective. This is my first
obligation to actually manage the thing.

All at once, one of our projects has duplicate folder
names:$/dirA,$/dirA/dirB,$/dirC.We've worked with this

I have a couple of questions about utilizing Source Safe
labeling functionality within VS.NET 2003.
1) Is there any way to define labels for a solution (and

I want to build a HTML based interface to allow basic operations on VSS:
check-in/out, history view. Anyone knows whether I could find an ActiveX to
help me build my own i/f for VSS?
Is there any low-cost utility tools available that allows WEB access to VSS?

I have the following question:
I have a class developed in Visual Studio 2003, written in
C#.  I want to add this class to my Visual SourceSafe
database which already exists.  No problem there.  In

Quick question.  If I want to archive some projects from
a database, should I lock the database while this is

* I have installed VSS on one machine.
* I shared the database folder from that machine.
* I installed client on another machine and browse the
