I think what it does is mark all the items in the project as being local (not in VSS)
Then it opens the project (VFP does not look to VSS to check the file's current Check in/out status) once the project is open it puts all the previous statuses back in place.

One downside to this is that the project does not get refreshed - Ie if there are multiple developers checking files in and out your project will never reflect this (unless you try and check out a specific file that another developer has checked out)

But for us here it's great - the number of times I have accidentally closed the project (over enthusiastic Ctrl+W's) then had to sit for 5 mins waiting for it to re-open... it's worth it's weight in gold!

Cheers for this one Tim (If it was my thread i'd give you some stars :)
