    ResolvedSourceSafe finding Case difference

    Hi

    I work with another developer on the same project. When he has checked source code into sourcesafe object names are saved as follows:

    Code:
    Dim rst as ADODB.RecordSet
    My IDE saves the following (note the S in the word RecordSet)

    Code:
    Dim rst as ADODB.Recordset
    When I check the source code in for the same form and compare this using sourcesafe, differences are reported where the s in recordset has changed.

    This also happens on other controls most commonly the TextBox on property text.

    Can anyone help as trying to find changes is a nightmare!

    Re: SourceSafe finding Case difference

    It appears that SourceSafe has a "Differences Options" window where you can choose to ignore case. This window may only appear for non-binary files.

    You could alternatively use a third party tool like Winmerge
