i'm using VS.Net 2003 Deveopler Edition. i want to open a
project from Visual Source Safe. However, when i click the
menu File -> Source Control, all the items are disabled
(including the "Open From Source Control"). Do anyone know
how to enable it?? THX a lot!!
 
Do you have SourceSafe installed on the machine? When all of the items are
grayed out, it is generally a sign that SS is not installed.

THX for ur reply
it should be the build-in function of VS.Net 2003. Although i have tried
to install the VSS, it still disabled in the menu.

Hi,
Suggestions for how to troubleshoot your Visual SourceSafe problems:
First confirm you have Visual SourceSafe installed and working by using the
Visual SourceSafe client to connect to your VSS database and check in/out
your project.
If that doesn't work then no amount of fiddling within Visual Studio is
going to help.
Once you have the confirmed that VSS is working then go into Visual Studio
and see if it is operational.
If not, then probably Visual Studio is looking in the wrong place for your
VSS server or database or perhaps your VSS login has changed.
Go into Visual Studio and navigate menus file/Source Control/Change Source
Control
If you have solutions listed here and the "connected" check box is
unchecked, try to check it.
If it can't be checked, click on Connect and try to connect to your VSS
server and database.
Once you get your solutions to show up as connected in this dialog, you
should find that all the source control functionality is no longer greyed
out.
Best of luck to you.
Bill
