I think I have seen something similar happen in 6.3, or at least I think it's what happened: A co-worker left the project before checking an object back in. (Nice.) I tried doing an "undo checkout", etc., without admin rights (figuring I might as well try it), and in the process the "checked out" name changed from the co-worker's to "unknown."
Something else I noticed is that the Admin tool did not like DEF files that I had pulled out of SourceSafe's history. Maybe it should, but it didn't/doesn't (the SourceSafe DEF files look OK in a text editor, for what that's worth). This means that SourceSafe does track the version history, but I can't actually do anything with the versions, I have to keep DEF files that I export directly from the Admin tool. --Joe Castleman _____ From: Pierson, Shawn Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 7:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ARSLIST] source contol implementation I have used it as well, and it worked fine with version 6.3 of ARS. However, prior versions did have problems (although it could have been an older Source Safe) where you would exit the Admin Tool where things are checked out to you, then when you go back in they are still checked out but not to you. Instead, they are checked out but it doesn't say to what user and you have to have admin rights to go back in and fix it on those items.. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
