SYMPTOMS
When you Get a source-controlled Visual Basic project from Visual SourceSafe Explorer, the Mssccprj.scc file does not contain SCC_Aux_Path information.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in Visual SourceSafe 6.0.



MORE INFORMATION
If you add a Visual Basic project to Visual Sourcesafe, Visual SourceSafe creates a Mssccprj.scc file in the project folder. The .scc file will have the following information: SCC=This is a Source Code Control file

[Project1.vbp] SCC_Project_Name = "$/KB/KB5", TJAAAAAA SCC_Aux_Path=C:\VSS, SCC_Project_Name is the path to the Visual SourceSafe project the Visual Basic project is associated with and TJAAAAAA is its physical file name.

SCC_Aux_Path is the path to the Visual SourceSafe database the Visual Basic project associated with.

However, if you perform a Get Latest Version on the Visual Basic project from the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, SCC_Aux_Path information is not written in the Mssccprj.scc file.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Open Visual Basic. Create a standard .exe project, and save the project under C:\proj1. Add the project to SourceSafe under $/proj1. Close Visual Basic. Open Windows Explorer, and go to C:\proj1.  Open Mssccprj.scc file in Notepad.exe. The following information is in the file: SCC=This is a Source Code Control file

[Project1.vbp] SCC_Project_Name = "$/Proj1", TJAAAAAA SCC_Aux_Path=C:\VSS, </li> Close Mssccprj.scc file.</li> Delete all the files under C:\Proj1.</li> Open Visual Sourcesafe Explorer, right-click the Project $/Proj1, and click Get Latest Version.</li> If it is not already there, type "C:\proj1" in the "To" edit box.</li>  Repeat steps 6-8, and you will find the following information in the Mssccprj.scc file: SCC=This is a Source Code Control file

[Project1.vbp] SCC_Project_Name = "$/Proj1", TJAAAAAA </li></ol>
