How to re-connect local VB6 project with VSS project on network
Recently, our network server was down for a few weeks, so I could not use VSS.
Now that it has been restored, I need to re-connect several local VB6 projects with their corresponding projects in VSS.
When I launch the VB6 IDE, it no longer can see the network projects, because they have moved to a new server.
How do I re-connect my projects on my PC with their correspconding projects in VSS, since they are in a different location?
I can now check files in & out of the VSS projects using the VSS client, but I want to do this through the VB6 IDE.
thanks

Hi Cappy,
Have you tried checking in your add-in Manager whether the Source Code control option is loaded or not..
Q. Has the VSS server name changed?

Yes it's loaded

Yes, the location has changed. How do I tel the VB6 IDE the new location of the VSS project?

Hi
Give this a shot - not tested it myself, so you may have to ad-hoc along the way!
Delete the *.scc file in the same folder as the *.vbp (dunno if necessary, but cant hurt)
Open VSS, browse to new VSS database & select it, delete reference to old VSS database.
Set working folder in VSS for your PC for the project in question.
If you've done any coding whilst not under VSS control, check out files but don't get local files (local to VSS that it, not your PC), else you'll overwrite your changes.
Open up vbp - should all be ok.......... (I think!). Also check that VSS is in the add in manager...
Hope it helps...
cheers
P.S. top tip to everyone - always wash hands thoroughly after chopping up a chilli. I didn't, just rubbed eyes, ouch

Thanks. I'v etreiad all of these, but VB still doens' tprompt me to get the latest sources, when I open the project, in spite of the fact that I have this
feature ENABLED>
THe local project doesn' t even know about the network project. That is, when I right click on a file in the project browser in the VB6 IDE, it does not even show the Checkin/Check out options, so it is still not connected with the database on the network

I've got it working now. I wnet to Tools, SourceSafe, CreatProjectFrom SourceSafe, then pointed it to the new location on the netowrk.
Now the CheckIn/Checkout options are available when I right click on a file in the project browser, inthe VB IDE
