SUMMARY
The Shadow setting allows you to set up a central directory location where users can compile access code without entering SourceSafe.
NOTE: Any modifications made to the files in this directory will not be reflected in the SourceSafe database.
To set a shadow directory for the project $/test, in the SRCSAFE.INI or SS.INI:
[$/test]
Shadow = f:\test
If the project header [$/test] already exists, do not create a new one, just add the Shadow setting underneath the other settings. For example:
[$/test]
Dir = c:\test
Shadow = f:\test
When files are updated to the $/test project, modifications will be reflected in f:\test as well.
