You might have some files marked read-only. Look at all of your source files (including the project files and executable), and make sure the Windows Read-Only attribute is not set.

The default behavior for SourceSafe is to mark files as read-only if they are not checked-out by you. You can change this by going into SourceSafe Explorer, clicking on the Tools|Options menu, clicking on the Local Files tab, and unchecking the checkbox that says "Use read-only flag for files that are not checked out".

>I 'm having trouble trying to rebuild my VFP6 project or compiling an EXE. When I run these functons, VFP chugs along for a few seconds, then stops. The performance tab of NT Task Manager shows 100% CPU usage and the rest of my system goes sluggish. I let it sit that way for a long time -- 30 minutes -- wondering if VFP and VSS are duking it out, but in the end I have to [End Task] via Task Manager on VFP6 which is reported as "Not responding".
