Hi James.

What I do when I need to do this is share the fiels between the projects. Following these steps should achieve what you want.
1) Remove the libraries from Application 2's project file and delete them from SourceSafe
2) Using the SourceSafe UI Share the libraries from Application 1 into Application 2. This is done using the Share menu item of the chain button on the toolbar.
3) Then do a get latest from the SourceSafe UI to copy those libraries into Application 2's working directory
4) Rebuild Application 2's project which should then bring in those copies.

Now you have two seperate copies of the libraries, so building a project will
be able to cope, and if you make a change to the library files they will get copied over to the other system the next time you do a get latest.
