SYMPTOMS
========
Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multi-user skills.
When you run the Switchboard Manager to create a switchboard form in a database
that is under source code control, you may receive the following error message:
The Save action was canceled.
The Switchboard form and table are created, but the Switchboard Manager Wizard
does not run to completion, and the Switchboard form is blank.
This article assumes that you are familiar with using the client-side
capabilities of Visual SourceSafe. For more information about Visual SourceSafe,
please refer to the "Visual SourceSafe User's Guide" or Help topics available
from the Visual SourceSafe Help menu.
CAUSE
=====
The Switchboard form was saved and closed in order to place it under source code
control, but this action occurred before the Switchboard Manager Wizard had
finished walking you through the design of the form.
RESOLUTION
==========
When you run the Switchboard Manager, the "Add Objects to SourceSafe" dialog box
appears, prompting you to add the new form to source code control. Click Cancel
in the dialog box, and finish running the Switchboard Manager. Then manually add
the form to SourceSafe by pointing to SourceSafe on the Tools menu, and then
clicking "Add Objects to SourceSafe."
NOTE: You must have Data and Misc. Objects checked out when you create a
Switchboard form with the Switchboard Manager Wizard. Because the Wizard creates
a Switchboard Items table, if you do not have Data and Misc. Objects checked
out, your Switchboard information will be lost. Any time you use the Switchboard
Manager to modify an existing Switchboard form, you must check out both Data and
Misc. Objects and the Switchboard form, or your changes will be lost.

click Yes. Note that you receive the message:
The Save action was canceled.
