Hopefully someone can offer me a hand. I am trying to set up source control (real source control, not the basic control Interdev sets up) for a project I am working on. I have 2 servers currently running, one with IIS on it (the server that I am developing my application one) and one server with a SourceSafe database on it. I can use the VSS database fine with VB.

With Interdev, I cannot seem to use it. If I try to add an existing project to Source Control (Project .. Source Control .. Add to Source Control), I get a message stating: Cannot establish source control for the web application. The server does not have a source control system installed on it, or the user name is not recognized. Obviously I can manually add the files to the VSS database, but then I can't use the Interdev IDE to check files and and out.

Am I hopeless in this cause?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!!

It is a pain in the ass to set up. You have to install sourcesafe on the server with IIS and maintain the SS database there.

Thanks for the help. It's kinda stupid to me. I mean, if we are running multiple IIS boxes, we can't have a single instance of a VSS database, but I guess any more would be too much to ask.

Oh well ... at least it answers the question.

Thanks!!!
