-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows, versions 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
