VB6 & SourceSafe

1 New Member
I am currently doing a project in VB6 and we are using sourcesafe. In .Net you are forced to check out a document before working on it, but I see in VB6 you can just start working on it without checking it out, which defeats the purpose of sourcesafe if there are more than one person working on it. Is this normal? Or is there something that i am not doing.

When i open the project, sourcesafe prompts me for my username and password and then retrieves the forms. But when i start working on them, i can just open them and start changing stuff.

Thanks.

Hi Lizelle,

That behavior is not normal apparently. When a project is under source control, you cannot modify any unchecked out file of it.
It is most likely the "read-only" attribute of the file you opened has been removed for some reason. Please check that.

Thanks.

I'm having trouble with VS.NET2003 and Visual SourceSafe. I upgraded from VS.NET2002 with Visual SourceSafe already installed, and then upgraded to 2003. My Source Control option has disappeared from the File menu. Also, when I open old projects that were already under source control, it doesn't connect properly to SourceSafe. It gives my an "unspecified error". Anybody know how to manual integrate the two?

SSADMIN.exe crashes when I try to run it? What can i do about this. Could it be an .ini setting??? The error message is: Microsoft SourceSafe User Shell has encountered a problem and needs to close.

So, we recently spent the last few hours chasing a rather obscure bug... We thought we would share with the group in the hopes that someone else finds this information useful. We use Access 2003 with SourceSafe for our current projects. We recently has a problem where Access would crash when we would "Get Latest Version" of a certain report. After an exhaustive search, we found the culprit. We had used high ASCII in one of the...

It then brings up a login dialog for SourceSafe. I enter this. This is

I need some help. I am trying to set up our development environment so as to make life easy for my fellow developers (none of whom have used ASP.NET or VS.NET before). We are developing our intranet which will comprise basic content with a number of small data-driven ASP.NET applications. I need to keep things simple, so I need to avoid stuff which needs too much in-depth knowledge to work.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
