I use VS 2005 and VSS 2005. Every time I close VS I get error: ss.ini not found. But except this VSS works fine, no problems when I open VS and do check in and check out. ss.ini is present and VSS repository specified as network path. I just worry that I can have problems later. ...

I've now got a bit of an issue: I had files checked out in SourceSafe previously, which I still have copies of in the local folder on my new install.

When I copy the original project and add it to the new solution, it's showing as checked in and VS is remapping the working folder in VSS; I want this new copy to not be bound to source control and not do ...

Question: Today I worked with MS Visual Sourcesafe, that is to say Microsoft's Sourcecode destruction system, which has never ever saved anything, but already destroyed much. Today I had one more of those nasty destructive episodes: I was working on a reporting service report (*.rdl xml files). I was modifiying a report, so I created a...

I've re-built many times and...
