The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 5.0, 6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Visual SourceSafe 4.0
---------------------
If you rename a file that is checked out in Visual SourceSafe 4.0, and you try to
check it back in, you get the following message:
File "<working directory>\<filename>" not found
Where <working directory> is the working directory for the renamed file,
and <filename> is the new name of the file.
This behavior occurs because the copy of the checked-out file is not renamed by
Visual SourceSafe.
Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or later
------------------------------
If you try to rename a file that is checked out in Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or
later, the following message appears:
Unable to rename the selected file
If you try to rename a file that is checked out to another user, the same message
appears.
RESOLUTION
==========
Before renaming a file in the Visual SourceSafe database, make sure that the
file is not checked out by any users.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
