two projects in VSS pointing to same source code
I am facing an annoying problem of VSS, somehow I have ended up with two projects in source safe pointing to one location on PC. I have deleted the pc project all together and downloaded fresh from project B on source safe. When I check-out files through Visual Studio 6.00 it checks it out from Project A!
Praoject A and B are two versions of the same project. How can a direct the pc folder correct to project B? Where is that information anyways on PC that it reaches out to A instead of B? I thought it should be fixed when I delete the project and download it again from B.
this post carries points.

Not sure if this is what you want.
In VSS, you can right click on the folder and do a Set Working Folder. You may want to do that and direct it to the appropriate folder on the harddisk

another thing you can try is go to the network folder where all users/ directries are placed look for your login name, open the .ini file and delete all the paths there and when its clean use kirants advice and set working folder and check if it works...its working for me when VSS become lunatic ;).
just one thing backup the ini file before changing it, for any case.

I have tried the right click on project folder in VSS and that does not help alone. I want to give a try what you have suggested, can you eleaborate more? What ini file should I change, do you know the name and location? I have searched ini files on my PC didn't find anything that I may change.

where is the sourceafe is installed ( not the client! ) is it on your computer or over a server?
Cheers
The vss server installation is on server, I obviosly also have source safe installed but its only client installation
Although I have come across the problem by doing check-in/check-out directly from source safe but I can not do the same from Visual Studio 6 because it will go to Project A to grab the files not Project B.
I still want to find a permanent solution to this problem and any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

ok thats mean that the ini file i told you to look for should be on the server where the VSS installed there should be directory for each user ( if i remeber correctly ) the name of the directory is the name users uses for log in...inside this directory there should be the ini file...
Cheers
