We currently use VSS 6, this is not going to change I am afraid. I am attempting to write a script that will allow a user to quickly copy all files that they have checked out to another directory tree. In order to do this I need to get a list of all the files that the user has checked out, and the directory that the file is checked out to. This is easy enough to do using status search in the GUI. But I need a way of doing it from the command line utility ss.exe. Two links that may be of use: VSS CommandLine Commands VSS CommandLine Options To expand on Panos reply ss.exe Status $/ -R -U

We use Visual Source Safe 6.0 at work and VB6 is supposed to integrate smoothly with Source Safe. Both applications are installed on my PC, but VB6 is not showing the options to integrate with Source Safe (e.g. checking out a file, seeing if a file is shared, etc.). What do I need to do to get VB6 to integrate with Source Safe 6.0? Check the file C:\WINDOWS\VBADDIN.INI and make sure that there is a line "vbscc=1" under the "[Add-Ins32]" section of the file. Re-start VB6 and go to "Add-Ins | Add-In Manager". The "Source Code Control" add-in should be listed. Updated with correction from Mark

I am forced to use VSS at work, but use SVN for a personal repository. What is the best way to sync between VSS and sync? To get rid of the manual merge step, I could use a separate svn branch (svn://branches/VSS) as follows: Create a working copy of svn://branches/VSS Do a VSS Get Latest on this working copy svn commit svn merge from svn://trunk svn commit Do a VSS diff and checkout all files (without overwriting) with differences Check in those files reintegrate svn://branches/VSS into svn://trunk You could also treat this as a vendor supplied branch as defined in the redbean book: Vendor

I am having an issue with the Microsoft Visual Sourcesafe command line options that I'm hoping someone has run across and can assist me with. I have the following line in a DOS batch file. "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ss.exe" GET "$/Development Projects/Activity" -GL"C:\Compile\Activity" -R -Q -Yname,password When this line is executed in the batch file the following prompt appears ... Set C:\Compile\Activity as the default folder for project $/Development Projects/Activity?(Y/N) I need to suppress this prompt in order to let the script run unattended. I thought the -Q option

I need to write a script to make a source safe project ready to be moved to subversion, what do I need to do so far I can think of: remove .scc files remove .vspcc files Do I need to remove the "read-only" attribute of all the files as well, or will that not matter? What language would you write this script in, I was planning to do it in python (os.walk is great), but maybe powershell would be more appropriate to chnage file attributes on windows (if I need to)? Is there anything else you can think of that needs to be done before I move the project to SVN? For a manual migration (or to

I would like to use WinMerge as the default diff tool inside VS2008 from the solutions explorer in place of the "Compare..." context menu item. Is this possible? I'm looking for a quick replacement of the current bland diff tool an I just like WinMerge better. I'm not interested in going to the folder explorer and doing the comparison there. I'm using Visual Source Safe 6.0 not TFS I have been wondering about this as well and have not found anything to make it possible in VSS 6.0 . For now, it looks like the answer to our question is "No". Yep, it's possible! See this link: http://whyiamright
