SYMPTOMS

SourceSafe cannot use Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names. For example the following setting won't work:
Data_Path = \\SOURCESAFE\SSAFE\SS\DATA
It gives this error:
Invalid path: C:\SOURCESAFE\SSAFE\SS\DATA\um.dat

STATUS

This behavior is by design in SourceSafe version 3.1. Visual SourceSafe version 4.0 can use UNC names.
APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft SourceSafe
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 3.1 Standard Edition
