- Microsoft SourceSafe for MS-DOS 3.1
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows 3.1
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows NT 3.1
This article was previously published under Q131093 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.
