Configuring Visual SourceSafe

It is important that you first install Visual SourceSafe on a server all users can access. (Visual SourceSafe is only available on Windows.) The Visual SourceSafe administrator creates a database and adds user accounts for each user. You then create projects to organize groups of related files. Each user must arrange the directory structure on his or her local system to exactly match the Visual SourceSafe project.

Complete the following steps to configure Visual SourceSafe.

  1. In LabVIEW, select Tools»Source Code Control»Configure SCC Options to display the Configure SCC Options dialog box.
  2. Select Visual SourceSafe from the Provider pull-down menu to open the Visual SourceSafe Options dialog box.
  3. Click Select Visual SourceSafe Project to select a project from SourceSafe's list of databases. You can provide your user name and password, if necessary to access these databases.
  4. Click Save.
Note  Clicking Help in the Visual SourceSafe dialog boxes might hide the original dialog box. After closing the Visual SourceSafe help, press <Alt-Tab> to find the original dialog box.
