SUMMARY

Visual SourceSafe Issues

Converting a Project Directly From Source Control Using Visual SourceSafe With Keyword Expansion Disables the Ability to Check In Multiple Files

MORE INFORMATION

Converting a Project Directly From Source Control

Visual C++ no longer allows you to open an old project from source control and convert it to the new project format from within Visual C++. Use the SourceSafe Explorer (or equivalent source control interface) to get the files to a local disc, then open the project in Visual C++ to do the conversion, and then check the files back in to source control. After this you may open the project out of source control as usual from Visual C++.

Using Visual SourceSafe With Keyword Expansion Disables the Ability to Check In or Add Multiple Files

The keyword expansion feature of Visual SourceSafe disables multiple-file actions for the Check In and Add commands. Using either of these commands with keyword expansion enabled causes only one file to be operated on. The other files are ignored.
