SYMPTOMS
If a project is shared and then later branched (as a separate step), the branch or separate option is not available from the toolbar.



RESOLUTION
To be able to branch the project, you must select the project and then select all the project's files.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start Visual SourceSafe.
 * 2) Select a project, and then right-click the project. Note that the share dialog box including the Branch or Separate Option is available.

If the project is shared and then later branched (in Visual SourceSafe version 4.0) or separated (in SourceSafe version 3.X), the shared project must be selected first, and then all of the project files must be selected. If files are not selected, the branch (or separate) option is not available.
