SYMPTOMS
The Visual SourceSafe status.dat file size is larger than expected.



RESOLUTION
The fastest method is to rename the status.dat file, then run the following command at the command prompt: DDCONV -S  DDCONV.exe is located in the VSS\Win32 subdirectory.

A less efficient method is to rename the Status.dat file, then run the Analyze utility with the -f switch.
