Version Tracking VB Projects

[Harlequin007]

Guys

Is there an in-built tool in VB 6 for tracking project revisions, something that will accept free text and let you know what changed on each version...?

VB 6 Enterprise comes with MS Visual SourceSafe which lets you keep track of different versions of files. It also allows you to compare files and display the differences side-by-side.

What fun is a technology if you can't crash the OS?

Thanks NetGiant.

And all this time I've been clicking "No"...

LMAO.

You should also make sure that in your VB project settings that you have the version auto-increment checkbox checked.

Guys

I've been trying to activate SourceSafe - But it asks for an INI file and a database yadda, yadda.

Any ideas...?

Find the srcsafe.ini file on your machine (or server) and point it there.

If you don't have this file, you haven't installed the server-part of VSS.

Thanks Chip.

I'd tried creating the file - with no luck.

I simply pointed it to the correct INI file and bingo.

Just one thing though:

File: "C:\...VSS\data\a\aaaaaaaa" not found

Mmmm...

The INI file points to where VSS stores it's data (as you saw). So, find the data directory and change the INI file to point to it.

How did your installation get so messed up?
