Ian - I only have about 3 VSS installations, so maybe I can take a stab at least at determining the proper VSS API calls (and test that it all works). Then perhaps I'll be able to come up with a patch (no promises tho, still have much C# to learn).

I don't use sourcesafe at all otherwise I'd take a stab a fixing it. Anyone who has knowledge of the VSS api should feel free to take a look at this. taking a quick look at BaseTask.cs it does this to attempt to get the specified version: _item = _database.get_VSSItem(_path, false); _item = _item.get_Version(_version); where _item is an instance of the IVSSItem and _version is the value specified in the version attribute. I see that IVSSItem also has a get_Versions method. It could be used to determine the valid version values and see if they match up to labels or not. If someone wants to do some testing against a sourcesafe installation to work out the correct sequence of api calls to get a specified version or label then I'll happily accept patches. as for the label attribute - the get task does not look for one. NAnts behaviour right now is to just ignore attributes that it doesn't know about. I agree that it would be nice to emit warnings or errors about non-existent attributes. I'll take a look at adding this soon.
