An item with the name <name> already exists

See Also

Each item in a VSS project must have a unique name. This error has the following cause and solution:

• You have attempted to name a file or an immediate child project with the same name as the project. (An item with that name can exist in other projects in the database, including subprojects.)

  To resolve this error, give the new item a different, unique file name. Or, you can delete or rename the existing item.

Note   File and project names in VSS are not case-sensitive. For example, if you have a file named Test.C, you cannot create a subproject or file named "Test.c" or "test.c" in the same project.
