I wonder if anyone can help please with what may be a simple problem. I'm trying to use VSS (Visual SourceSafe) with VFP (Visual Foxpro) on my Windows 10 PC with a local VSS database on my D drive, i.e. not on a network drive. I have done this many times the past and it is an excellent way to keep track of changes between versions.
This works fine on a PC at the location of a client who I support, which runs XP. Also, on my own Windows 10 PC, VSS works perfectly from the VSS application, but when I try to access it from VFP I get "database XXX does not exist".
I've tried creating a new database but to no avail. The srcsafe.ini file is in the VSS folder, so I can't understand what might be the problem. Could it be an issue with Windows 10?
Any pointers would be hugely appreciated!
Martin
