Error with Visual Source Safe
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:18 am
I'm not real sure where my issue is here. I was previously working on a server and would have flare connect to another server where my repository was. I did not have issues with this.
Now I am moving my work to a new server and connecting to the same repository on another server. The project appears to be bound correctly.
However, when I go to check out a file, it proceeds as if with no error, but does not remove the "locked" symbol from the file. Similarly, if I go to save the file, it fails to save because it seems to think the file is locked and it does not think it is checked out. When I compare my repository, I can see the file is in fact checked out.
I figured this was an issue with flare writing to the directory, so I tried working with an unbound project and it worked fine. So this issue only manifests itself when I am trying to make changes to an existing file in source control.
Differences between the two work servers - the old one is Win 2003 Server, VSS 2005, the new one is Win 2008 Server R2 and VSS 2008. Both use Flare 7
