INFO: Cannot Set EOL Option from the Visual SourceSafe GUI

ID: Q169535

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows versions 5.0, 6.0

SUMMARY

Unlike Visual SourceSafe 4.x, you cannot set the EOL option cannot within the Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or later Advanced dialog box. In Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or later, you have to manually set the EOL option in the Srcsafe.ini file. This is by design.
