Fred and Joe,

Installed VSS 6.0 client on my machine overwriting the VSS 5.0 client. This made (obviously) VSS 6.0 the default.

My 6.0 VSS database is called VSSWebSrc located on server B (No VFP projects)
My 5.0 VSS database is called VSSSrc located on server A (All VFP projects)

Problem: When I go into VFP and Modi Proj xx (or any of the other 5 projects contained in the VSS 5.0 database) which originally pointed to VSSSrc, the project gives me the SCC API error "Project Created" occurred. The project will be opened without source control. Behind the scenes VFP tried to look for the xx proj in the VSSWEBSrc (6.0) database (not the 5.0) and added an empty VSS project xx to VSSWEBSrc.

I thought that I was going to be given a prompt to select the database to work with after loading the VSS 6.0 client and then I could pick the VSS 5.0 database.

Need: Without converting the VSS 5.0 database to 6.0, how do I reset the default for each of the VFP projects contained in the VSS 5.0 database to look there or worst case prompt each time the project is opened?

Thanks in advance

Dave

>>Joe,

>>To beat this horse for the last time.... from your responses I am reading that you suggest replacing the 5.0 client with the 6.0 client on the developer machines. What I also think you are eluding to since I have said that I cannot upgrade my 5.0 databases to 6.0 is that I can use the 6.0 client ot work with the 5.0 database.... is this what your are in fact saying? I cannot find any documentation supporting that fact (perhaps no surprise there...) other than the following text within the VSS help itself which doesn't seem to agree.

>When you install VSS 6 and it finds an existing VSS 5 database, you're given the option to convert it to 6.0 format or not. If you keep it in 5.0 format, you can access it with either a VSS 6 or a VSS 5 client. You can't have both clients on the same machine (at least I don't think so).
