SYMPTOMS
Doing a &quot;get&quot; on a project label returns the wrong version of a file.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when a file level label interferes with the project level label.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do one of the following:
 * Manually get files at correct versions from history dialog.
 * Find the incorrect version that is being returned and remove its file level label from the history window.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open a Visual SourceSafe database.
 * 2) Create a Project called LabelTest.
 * 3) Add a Text File called LabelTestFile.txt.
 * 4) Check out the file, make any change to it, and then check it back in.
 * 5) Label the root project &quot;$/&quot; INTEGRATION.
 * 6) Check out the file, make any change to it, and then check it back in.
 * 7) Label the file INTEGRATION.
 * 8) Check out the file, make any change to it, and then check it back in.
 * 9) Label the the project &quot;$/Labeltest&quot; INTEGRATION. From this point, no matter where you do a get on the INTEGRATION label, you always get the version that was labeled at the file level.
