SYMPTOMS
When you choose Show History on a file that was archived with the -d -v switches, you receive the following error:

Version not found



RESOLUTION
Use the ss history command from command prompt.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Visual SourceSafe 5.x Explorer. This bug has been corrected in Visual SourceSafe 6.0



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a project and add a file to this project.
 * 2) Create some versions for the file.
 * 3) Branch this file to a new project. Note the version at which you are branching.
 * 4) Delete the original file from Visual SourceSafe.
 * 5) Create some more versions to the new (branched) file.
 * 6) ssarc -d -v#, making sure that v# is a number greater than the version number at which the file was branched.
 * 7) From Visual SourceSafe Explorer, right-click on the new file and click Show History.

RESULT: The error "Version not found" appears.
