Visual Source Safe - NEED HELP

I am setting up a new project in VSS and am a user that has been passed the admin duties..........After selecting the add files to the root folder step is performed I have a popup "Add File to" displayed; here, what are the selections in the drop down "List files of type:" for? What would a normal selection be, or, where can I find this info since we have no users manual!!!!!!!!

Thanks much...........:confused:

This thread needs to be moved to "General Developer"

The Structure of VSS folder structure is more or less like the Windows Explorer. First you create a root project ($). Then add any folder files to it.

Moved to here. We discourage people from posting technical questions in the General Discussion / Chit Chat forum.

That's just filtering the files in the folder you have selected. Use *.* to view all the files.

Help menu > Contents
Will give you your user guide

You should consider not using VSS at all.

Subversion, or the windows graphical interface to it, TortoiseSVN is much better.

I have used three tools so far - PVCS, VSS & Subversion. I feel for VB related projects, VSS is much easier to use.
