Chapter 1 - Network Installation
The Microsoft SourceSafe User's Guide does not describe the Network Installation in detail. See Section 1 of this document for more information.

Chapter 1 - Removing Visual SourceSafe or Components
The Microsoft SourceSafe User's Guide does not describe the procedure for removing Visual SourceSafe components, or the program or database. See Section 1 of this document for more information.

Chapter 5 - Using Labels
The section, "Using Labels," in Chapter 5, page 63, does not describe the Item edit box in the Label dialog box. Type the name of the item (project or file) that you want to label.

Chapter 8 - Correction to Access Rights Table
The table of access rights for commands, page 116, states that for the Move Project command, you need only Add rights. It should state that you need Destroy rights in the project you are moving from.

Chapter 8 - Typo in File Extension, Incorrect Use of /D Option
The sections "Using Separate Icons for Each Database," on page 134, and "Multiple SRCSAFE.INI Files," on page 135 both have the following typographical error:

the C:\VSS\WIN32\SSEXP.EXE file appears as C:\VSS\WIN32\SSEXP.EXT.

Also on page 135, the second sentence in the second paragraph and the example that follows it use the /D command line option incorrectly. The option can not be used in the following manner, with a directory immediately following the option: /D\DATA2. You must set an initialization variable to use /D. Correct use of the option is shown in the next section, "Multiple Data_Path Settings."

Appendix B - Description of Treatment of .FRM and .FRX Files Incorrect
The section, "Visual SourceSafe and Visual Basic," on page 154, contains an incorrect description of Visual SourceSafe's treatment of .frx files associated with .frm files. When you check out an .frm file, if there is an .frx file associated with it, that .frx file is not checked out. See Section 3.8 for more information.

Appendix C - Typo in Description of DELTA_SS.EXE Example
The section, "Converting a Single File or Directory," on page 174, contains the following typographical error in the description of the example: "In this example, the -r option provides a verbose report of the conversion" The description should read, "In this example, the -v option provides a verbose report of the conversion ..."

Appendix C - Testlock.exe Syntax
The Testlock.exe section in Appendix C, page 178, does not provide a syntax statement for Testlock.exe, although a verbal explanation is provided. The syntax is:

TESTLOCK 

The Testlock.exe program is in the Win or Win32 directory under the directory in which the Visual SourceSafe server setup was installed.
