Currently, I am working on a file that is shared between multiple projects in Visual Source Safe and we have come to a point where we need to update it to be specific to a certain project. Is there a way to safely remove the shared status from the file file?

A:
There's a "branch files" icon in the toolbar. looks like a page on the left with two arrows split pointing right.
Go to the project that you need to roll-back to a prior version and branch at THAT instance. Leave the PRIMARY entry alone. Then, you should be able to do a roll-back of that specific single file (or files) as needed.

SourceSafe help for the branch command "Branches a previously shared file. The Visual SourceSafe Branch command breaks the shared link between copies of the file, making the file versions independent and able to be part of separate projects."

That did the trick, thanks for the help.
