SYMPTOMS
When you add a new project to Visual SourceSafe, you must create a new Visual SourceSafe project. Visual SourceSafe does not allow you to add objects to an existing project, even if the project is empty. If you try to use an existing project name, you receive the following error message:

Project  already exists. You must create a new VSS project to use with this VSS project.



RESOLUTION
When you add a new project to Visual SourceSafe control, type a unique name for the project in the Create a new project in the folder box.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create a new workbook in Excel, and then save it. Press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor. Use the Add-in Manager to load the Source Code Control add-in if it is not already loaded. Click VBA Source Code Control on the Add-ins menu to add the current project to source code control. When prompted for a VSS project name, type an existing one.

Note that you receive the following error message:

Project already exists. You must create a new VSS project to use with this VSS project.
