The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SourceSafe for MS-DOS, version 3.1
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows, version 3.1
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows NT, version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
SourceSafe cannot use Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names. For example the
following setting won't work:
Data_Path = \\SOURCESAFE\SSAFE\SS\DATA
It gives this error:
Invalid path: C:\SOURCESAFE\SSAFE\SS\DATA\um.dat
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design in SourceSafe version 3.1. Visual SourceSafe version
4.0 can use UNC names.
Additional query words: relative path
