Hi, To resolve this problem, build a new Um.dat file. Note that when you build a new Um.dat file, you must add all of the users again. 1. To build a new Um.dat file, follow these steps: 1. Create a temporary folder named C:\Sstemp. 2. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. 3. Go to the VSS\Win32 folder in the command prompt window, and then type the following command: mkss c:\sstemp 4. In the VSS\Win32 folder at the command prompt, type the following command: ddconv c:\sstemp 5. In the VSS\Win32 folder at the command prompt, type the following command: ddupd c:\sstemp 6. Copy the Um.dat file from the C:\SStemp\Data folder to the Visual SourceSafe data directory. 7. Rename the Rights.dat file in the Visual SourceSafe data directory as Rights2.dat. 8. At a command prompt, run the analyze -f command against the database. 9. Add all of the Visual SourceSafe users again. 10. Reassign rights to the Visual SourceSafe users. This should fix the issue : ).
