Source Safe 2005 cannot check in file

Question

I just met a very strange issue, sourcesafe can check out/ check in as normal, but there is noting in the "History" and the file actually didn't update to the database, and also there is no message to indicate any failure.....

I try to explain what I did in last few days:

1. I create a new project.

2. right click and drag files from existing project.

3. I found the visual studio binding for the new project is not correct, so I update the visual studio project file manually to bind to the new project.

 

At the beginning, some of the files can check in, and some cannot. Now all of them cannot be checked in, no error, no history....

 

where can I find something like logs or errror message?

what should be the possible reason?

Answer 1

it looks like related to the option "check in unchanged files", if chang it from "undo check out" to "check in", then it works...

 

but the files has changes...

Answer 2

Please view the VS Source Control setting:

Check if you enable the option "Keep items checked out when checking in" or others. And I suggest you to use:

Sincerely,
