Simple branching problem

[scootz]

Have created a new project to which I want to branch an existing project. I complete a 'branch after share' on all the files in the original project. The branch seems to have happened. When I open the new project in VC++ and check out a file it checks it out from the original project and not the new project. Working folders have been set correctly so what am I doing wrong?
I'm completely baffled, can anyone help please.

Hm, I don't use VC++, rather VB6, and have not had this problem.

Might I suggest you try branch and share on the project itself, not just the files? That's the way I tend to do it and it works for me.

Thanks for the idea.
I have found my problem is a known MS problem with Source Safe. See 'PRB: problems after branching integrated DevStudio projects (Q173065)' at support.micrsoft.com.
It requires you to edit the .dsp and .dsw files manually!
I find it hard to believe that MS have this kind of bug in a fundamental function of a CM tool.
