SYMPTOMS
SourceSafe cannot use Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names. For example the following setting won't work:

Data_Path = \\SOURCESAFE\SSAFE\SS\DATA

It gives this error:

Invalid path: C:\SOURCESAFE\SSAFE\SS\DATA\um.dat



STATUS
This behavior is by design in SourceSafe version 3.1. Visual SourceSafe version 4.0 can use UNC names.

Additional query words: relative path
