Visual SourceSafe

[tazman]

I am working on a VB program previously built by someone else. I need to edit one of their user controls/ActiveX object. The object that they made was a part of SourceSafe and I don't know user names or passwords to SourceSafe. I need to edit the project but it is read only mode. If I create a new project and copy and paste the code into the new project, then when I distribute the new ActiveX control, it will be a new key in the registry. Is there a way around this?

A new key in the Registry? Couldn't you just add the same key as well?

I'm using the PDW to distribute the new control. I guess I'm not sure of how to control which Registry key it assigns to the ActiveX control.

I don't know if this works, but isn't the read only mode the same as the Read Only flag assigned by the operating system?
If so, you could remove it by right clicking the files in explorer, choose properties, and remove the read-only check.

Changing the attribute of the file worked!!! Thank you!!!
