Visual SourceSafe Issues
------------------------

Converting a Project Directly From Source Control Using Visual SourceSafe With
Keyword Expansion Disables the Ability to Check In Multiple Files

MORE INFORMATION
================

Converting a Project Directly From Source Control
-------------------------------------------------

Visual C++ no longer allows you to open an old project from source control and
convert it to the new project format from within Visual C++. Use the SourceSafe
Explorer (or equivalent source control interface) to get the files to a local
disc, then open the project in Visual C++ to do the conversion, and then check
the files back in to source control. After this you may open the project out of
source control as usual from Visual C++.

Using Visual SourceSafe With Keyword Expansion Disables the Ability to

Check In or Add Multiple Files
------------------------------

The keyword expansion feature of Visual SourceSafe disables multiple-file actions
for the Check In and Add commands. Using either of these commands with keyword
expansion enabled causes only one file to be operated on. The other files are
ignored.
