See Section 1 of this document for more information. Chapter 5 - Using Labels ------------------------ The section, "Using Labels," in Chapter 5, page 63, does not describe the Item edit box in the Label dialog box. Type the name of the item (project or file) that you want to label. Chapter 8 - Correction to Access Rights Table --------------------------------------------- The table of access rights for commands, page 116, states that for the Move Project command, you need only Add rights.

Chapter 8 - Typo in File Extension, Incorrect Use of /D Option -------------------------------------------------------------- The sections "Using Separate Icons for Each Database," on page 134, and "Multiple SRCSAFE.INI Files," on page 135 both have the following typographical error: the C:\VSS\WIN32\SSEXP.EXE file appears as C:\VSS\WIN32\SSEXP.EXT. Also on page 135, the second sentence in the second paragraph and the example that follows it use the /D command line option incorrectly.
