Problems in SourceSafe when copying VC++ Projects

[Brian Garraty]

I continually run into the same problem with SourceSafe when I make a copy of an existing VC++ project. I copy the project to a new directory on my drive and create a new project in sourceSafe and add the appropriate files to the new project. The problem is that the old SourceSafe path is stored in the project files and as such, when I open the new project it associates itself with the old SourceSafe project.

I'm sure others have run into this same problem. Has anyone found a smart way to handle this short of hacking the SourceSafe path in the project files?

Thanks.

We've always had this problem and we've had no choice but to open the DSP and/or DSW files as "Text" files and then manually change SourceSafe paths. It's not too nice, but at least it's a solution.

Hopefully you won't be moving your projects too often.
