SYMPTOMS

SourceSafe keyword expansion is case sensitive. For example, the following do not expand as expected:

      $nokeywords: $

      $Nokeywords: $
                

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

The syntax for the keywords is:

      $Archive: $
      $Author: $
      $Date: $
      $Header: $
      $History: $
      $Log: $
      $Logfile: $
      $Modtime: $
      $NoKeywords: $
      $Revision: $
      $Workfile: $
                

Visual SourceSafe 6.0 also contains:

      $JustDate: $
                

The capital letters are required.
