I've been using VSS that comes with VB6 even though we're currently using .Net 2005. I've basically just been storing code and retrieving it to update the current version. However, there has been one instance where I needed to retrieve source code that was 3 versions prior to the current and I don't know how to retrieve it from SourceSafe. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Right-click the file... show history.... browse the history untill you find the version you want... then do a "Get" on that version....

There is also Show Differences option (on that same menu) if you want to know what was changed.
