Server Error: Visual Source Safe Failure. A "File or Project Not Found" Error Occurred While Operating on File "$/Foldername" (236960)
The information in this article applies to:
- FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions from Microsoft
- Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q236960 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to move a file into a folder in FrontPage Explorer, the following error message occurs:
Server Error: Visual Source Safe failure. A "File or project not found" error occurred while operating on file "$/Foldername"
When you refresh FrontPage Explorer, a file named Pagename.htm.vsss.tmp is created, and the original file appears to no longer be under source control.
CAUSE
This occurs when you create a folder outside of FrontPage Explorer, and do not add the folder to Visual Source Safe Explorer.
RESOLUTION
Upgrade to the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.
After you upgrade, you will receive the following message if you attempt to move a file into a folder that has not been added to Visual Source Safe:
Server Error: Cannot rename "pagename.htm" to "Folder1/pagename.htm" because the destination folder "Folder1" does not exist in the source control repository. Please add this folder to the repository using the repository's tools, then try renaming the file or folder in FrontPage.
When you refresh FrontPage Explorer, no temp files are created, and the page is still under source control.
WORKAROUND
Check-in the Pagename.htm.vsss.tmp file, and rename it back to Pagename.htm using Visual Source Safe Explorer.
Another option is to choose Recalculate Hyperlinks from the Tools menu in FrontPage Explorer. Delete Pagename.htm, and then rename Pagename.htm.vsss.tmp to Pagename.htm (this assumes that Pagename.htm was not checked out to begin with).
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in FrontPage 97 and 98 Server Extensions.
