I have years of source code in a VSS6 database. I upgraded my VSS client to 2005. I upgraded my IDE to VS2008. I check out solutions/projects and open them in VS2008. The problem is VS2008 does not 'know' they are already in Source Safe, even though the mssccprj.scc file is in the project directory. I get the option to 'Add' the project to SS but nothing else. If I Add the project under another project folder it works fine except now I have an 'old' project and a 'new' project. How can I link VS2008 with the existing Source Safe project? -- Brian

With it you can Unbind and Rebind a local project to a specific Source Control path. Note that there is an update for VSS 2005 that fixes some VS2008 incompatibilities. -Mark
