vb and source safe
Hi
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post in - i looked for a source safe forum !
anyway - im using vb6 and have just installed sourcesafe 2005
i have added a new project to source safe and the working folder I have set is full of the vb files i need to keep track of -
I check files out to edit - the lock sign is on in vb next to a file if its not checked out so i guess its seeing sourcesafe - however after making a few changes - checking the file in and out - i go to view history within sourcesafe and nothing happens - no history of the file which has definitely changed appears - I go to properites of the file and say I have done 4 changes to the file then it says versions 1-4 so sourcesafe does seem to know there has been changes but will not show me a history - does anyone know what i may be doing wrong - or point me in the right direction to solve the problem - i am a total newbie to using sourcsafe ..
thanks

You have to manually enter the history information when you check the files back in.
It won't compare the lines of code between versions.

Hi Rich - where ya been?
Not sure what you mean - I must be missing something. Sourcesafe always shows history for us, and all we ever do is check out, modify, check in. Can go back so far in history that you usually need to enter 'from' as sometime recent in order to filter out some of the changes ...
br3athe - what happens if you try checking history while still in vb? (Tools - SourceSafe - History)

Hey Gupex :) I changed jobs in October, and I'm now living in Southern California (I used to live in Warwik - near Birmingham in England)... been a hectic 6 months
Maybe I'm not using SS properly (which wouldn't surprise me). I don't rely on it heavily as I should as all my apps. are of the small internal variety. I was under the impression I had to manually enter the changes I made to make the history work.
