VB IDE Not Integrating Visual SourceSafe ProblemHello.
We have a Citrix server on which both Visual Basic 6 and Visual SourceSafe 6 are installed. When I log in and use VB, I have the full set of Visual SourceSafe integration commands (check in, check out, get latest, etc.). However, when a coworker logs in, he does not have any of the SourceSafe commands available in the Visual Basic IDE whatsoever. Also, I had him take a look at his Add-In manager in VB. When he did that, he did not even have a "Source Control" add-in available like I do. How do we configure his login to have SourceSafe integrated into the VB IDE? Thanks! John

Was SourceSafe installed for this coworker? Is this coworker set up to use SourceSafe (IOW, his login and password added via the SourceSafe Admin tool)? Have you consulted with your network or system administrator about this issue. It could be something related to the Citrix server, his login for that, etc. I suppose something you could just try (no idea if it'd work or not) would be to open the VBADDIN.INI file and verify/add the following line in the [Add-Ins32] section: vbscc=0 I'd be amazed if it's as simple as that though, given that you're running VB from a Citrix server. -- Mike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic you could try register C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual

This issue with SourceSafe is just the tip of the iceberg of the many problems you are going to have attempting to run the VB IDE from a TS. Wait until you try 'sharing' an .OCX project. You will have to config Citrix for each developer's profile customizing 'normal' application defaults. In other words, just installing VB on the TS and then publishing it as a normal windows application is NOT going to work. You will have to reconfigure VSS so each developer gets his own 'sandbox'. There are known workarounds and Citrix is a dramatically advanced TS, but frankly I never found it worth it. -ralph Excellent! Thanks to all for the info.

My last experience was a brief one with a newer Citrix ~2003. It offered more configuration options which I noted at the time would have been useful when we were fighting the "TS vs VS Wars" with earlier versions (cira 2001/3). Back then it was next to impossible. To put it simply you ended up creating a 'single' instance of 'everything' for each developer. You soon ran out of good reasons to be using TS in the first place - you still had your own copy with the additional weight of the wire. Performance varied from acceptable to intolerable. <g> Also VSS runs very well across a network and the client is small and changes very infrequently. It is just easier to use it 'networked'. But like I said Citrix has improved, servers have improved, it might pay for itself now. -ralph
