Source Safe Control
>It's been discontinued. No more updates.
But Craig, I think we can say the same for FoxPro - No more updates.
I'm finding that SourceSafe 6.0d and SourceSafe 2005 are in good enough shape that they don't need updates from the Mothership.
Once a month I run the Analyze utility to look for problems, which is a recommended Standard Practice. About every 1.5 years are there any problems and the utility fixes them.
Here is a copy of my Analyze BAT file. You'll need to change the location of your SourceSafe database.
