TITLE   :PRB: Project Created but No Objects If Add to VSS Is Canceled
PRODUCT :Microsoft SourceSafe
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:97
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbinterop

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Access 97 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

When you create a new database and add it to Source Code Control, if you click
Cancel in the "Add Objects to SourceSafe" dialog box, the database is added to
SourceSafe anyway, but none of the database objects are added to the SourceSafe
project.

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
=====

You created the SourceSafe project, but canceled before the objects in your
database were added to the project.

You must click Cancel in the "Add to SourceSafe Project" dialog box if you want
to prevent the database from being added to Source Code Control at all.

RESOLUTION
==========

If you want to leave the database under Source Code Control, manually add the
database objects to the SourceSafe project. On the Tools menu, point to
SourceSafe, and then click "Add Objects to SourceSafe."

If you do not want to leave the database under Source Code Control, compact the
database and answer Yes when prompted if you want to remove the compacted
database from Source Code Control.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
