Hi, I have been reading the docs and trying to understand how SourceSafe
works, but I have a question. Suppose I have a project called Version1 and I
also have a Version2 project which shares all of the files in Version1. Now
suppose I branch one of the files in Version2. Now I ...

I have shared and branched a project using Visual SourceSafe 6.0.  The
project is a .NET project (C#).
My problem is that if I check out a file from my main project (the trunk)
and then try to check out that same file from my branch project I get an

The dialogue box that is displayed when file properties->paths is selected is
not big enough to show the full subproject information in our repository.
It does not appear to be scrollable or resizable, has anyone got a simple
workaround ?

Heya,
I am trying to diff specific files from two separate projects.  
I've got two files, one from Project 1 and one from Project two, both have
valid paths (objItem.spec), but when I try to diff them, there is a problem.

I just upgraded my system to VSS 2005.  It integrates fine with my
installations of VB 2003 & VB 2005, but it is absent from VB 6.  Has support
for VB 6 been dropped from VSS 2005 or is there a trick to getting it to
integrate with VB 6?  Thank you for you help!

How do you find out your currently installed version ?
When I select about MS VSS from the help menu in VSS I get a dialogue box
that states version 6.0a (Build 8987)
As this is not the latest version i downloaded service pack 6

I have VSS installed on my laptop.  It is connected to the network only
occasionally.  How do I disable the VS2003 integration so that VS2003
doesn't hang for 5 minutes on startup?  I am quite happy using VSS Explorer.

MS doesn't seem to want to respond to me when I ask how much VSS 2005 will
cost... or even if they will sell it... they are kind of playing it off as a
MSDN only thing... which would suck horribly since we are using VSS 6
already and it does have bugs with Visual Studio 2005 for ...

Does anyone know of any good scripts I can run at night to backup vss?
Thanks, Mark

If I open a project that another programmer has written and they have added
external references, the references are invalid on my machine.  I noticed
that the dlls were not in the project folder in Visual Source Safe.  How are
you suppose to handle external references in Visual ...

Does anyone have a command line for determining the differences in the
database since a given label? For example, if I labeled my database
(recursively) "1.00", I would like to find out if there have been any
checkins since the label "1.00", preferably without having to check out ...

I was wondering if it will be possible to migrate existing
visual source safe databases to vss 2005? Is Visual SS 2005
a standalone program or does one have to install the Team
software for that?

Can Source Safe be used to historically compares two Word document too
see what changes were made?  What about excel files?
