Visual SourceSafe. Network Not Found error.
Hi all,
I have SourceSafe 6.0d.
We have recently (a few months ago) transferred our SourceSafe database to a new server. Although this was unpleasant, once I'd got over all the problems, everything worked fine. All functions worked correctly.
This weekend, the old server was switched off.
Now, every time I check in a module I get an error 'Network Not Found'. The module DOES check in properly and nothing seems to be wrong, other than the error dialog.
Clearly, somewhere in the settings is a reference to the old server but where? I cant find it! Any ideas where I could look?

Are you checking in from SourceSafe itself, or checking in from Visual Studio (or some other IDE that uses Sourcesafe)?
ASKER
I'm checking in from VS C++ 6.0!
I've also noticed that it only happens when the file has actually changed, i.e. its not turning the checkin into an undo-checkout.
I've searched all the DSP and DSW files for references to the old server. No hits.
When we moved over to the new server I deleted all the .NCB and .OPT files to get them rebuilt.

Do you get the same error if you check in from SourceSafe directly?
ASKER
I just tried that (hadnt thought of that test). Yes! The same error happens!

Check the following registry locations to see if the path to your sourcesafe database is correct:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\So
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\So
Check the following file for the correct path to your database:
c:\program files\Microsoft visual studio\vss\srcsafe.ini
If that all seems correct, try disconnecting and reconnecting to the database. From Sourcesafe, choose file/open Sourcesafe database and choose the correct one. Also Remove any others that are no longer valid.
Regards,
Mike.

>>is your user login credentials the same for the new server as the old server?
Yes! And I've been working with the new one for quite a while now (several months).
>>...temporary directory...
I checked that. It points to a valid location and I do have full access to that location.
>>...check the srcsafe.ini...
Cracked it! There is a line in there that says:
Journal_File = \\<old server>\...
Thanks MIke! :-)
