Why won't Visual SourceSafe let me "Remove" a database?
-
For love nor money I do not understand why in Visual Source Safe there is a button to remove a database but it's grayed out! I have a database set up on one drive and I want to move it to another. Because I haven't used it yet, I just want to delete it and recreate one with the same name on a different drive. All I can do is chose File> Open Database and then there's a button to remove the current one, but its grayed out. Can anyone shed some light on this latest ingenious UI design from Microsoft?

Ok, here are the absurd steps I needed to remove it. I had to go to the actual folder where it resided, delete it, relaunch VSS, attempt to open it, then the button was no longer grayed out. Brilliant stuff, I'm glad to see so much work was put into VSS over the past 5 years.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
