SYMPTOMS
After converting a Visual C++ 4.x project that was under source control, the source control information is absent in Visual C++ 5.0.



CAUSE
During project conversion, Visual C++ 5.0 uses the mssccprj.scc file to gather information about source control instead of using the Visual C++ 4.x project .MDP file. The mssccprj.scc file is created by Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2.

For more information on the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
