Visual SourceSafe 5.0 Year 2000
Update |
![](/file/18315/Y2K_Resource_Nov99.iso/webcon~1/usa/year2k/images/spacer.gif) |
The following
update is designed exclusively for machines with Visual SourceSafe
5.0 installed.
Issue Description
Visual SourceSafe 5.0, as originally shipped, has an issue when
attempting to pull the history of a file or project filtered by user
specified dates. This issue can be summarized as:
- In the History pre-dialog where one can specify a date range
to do a history on ("show the History between 1/1/97 and
2/24/2000), if a date is specified after the year 2000, it will be
treated as a date in the 1900s. The same issue exists on the
command line.
- The history pre-dialog in version 5.0 does not accept 4-digit
years.
The issues described above are cosmetic display issues. There are
no known issues that impact the storage of files or project data
across to the year 2000. As well, the history report issue above
does not impact the applications that developers build using Visual
SourceSafe as the source code control tool. Only the ability to view
history where a date is specified is affected.
System Requirements
- Windows 95
- Windows 98
- Windows NT 3.51 Workstation or Server Service Pack 5
- Windows NT 4.0 Workstation or Server Service Pack 4
