      I agree that source safe is a pain, but of COURSE you need to log in to source safe, because it needs to be ready to check in/out code. In the world of W98 ( where you don't need to log in to start an OS ), logging in everything makes the code on source safe secure.

        I'm in Win2k, therefore i consider that *reasonably* secure (in that i have to log in). I agree, you *should* login to srcsafe - but... why do i have to do it all bloody day long ;) I mean, I load a project, therefore i login, VC falls over, I load a project, therefore i login, I load another project, therefore I login... Ad Infinitum. The force is weak in this one... Seriously, there is something wrong if SS can't work out you're logged in thru one devstudio, and therefore don't need to do it all over again when you load a new devstudio instance on the same machine... I mean, user/pw for SS is per user, not per project. Some days I just wanna scream, go postal and 'liberate' the office :) X| Tim Stubbs

          Well, wait until you get code rollback courtesy of SS - that's REAL fun. However - your VC falls over under W2000 ? What's going on ? I've NEVER had VC crash in W2000.

            Oh yeah VC falls over nicely.... I think it's related to the fun and games from a known bug when you've got norton antivirus installed - often i get a 'file in use' error when trying to save a file, which then mysteriously evaporates. When VC crashes, it's usually when i hit alt f, l (save all) - the editor locks up for a second or two and then 4/5 times it dies. Same problemo when i hit f7 (less frequent) as i have 'save all files before compiling' checked in the opts. Then again, I've been using VC since it's 4.1(?) incarnation and it's never been anywhere near bug free... :rolleyes: Tim Stubbs

              In the Visual SourceSafe Administrator 6.0 there is an option "Use network name for automatic login" in Tools, Options, General. Don't know about 5.0 though. Anyway, in 6.0 it works great, I'm on Win2k and NEVER need to log in to SourceSafe. Sito Dekker

                Create environment variable SSUSER (this is loging) and SSPASSWORD, or SSPASS (or something like that). No more login dialogs.
