Visual SourceSafe (VSS): “Access to file (filename) denied” error?

Things to check in order: Antivirus Other software having the file loaded (blend/notepad/whatever) and locked NTFS permissions locally NTFS permissions on the sourced file (fddaaaaaa. A) Perform disk check (bad sectors may cause this).

A belated update and resolution: Despite confirming I had the necessary permissions on the file I listed above, and confirming that the timestamp and contents of the file matched the one I was working on, it apparently wasn't the correct file. I'll essplain. I downgraded to VSS client version 6.0 from the 2005 (8.0) version, and unlike 8.0 it identifies the actual file name in the file system it was trying to access when an error occurs.

The file I listed above was a text representation of the file--it seems the actual file VSS was trying to access ('fddaaaaaa,' not 'fdaaaaaa. A') is a binary file. I assume that relates to how VSS is managing what's a file-based database system.

For some reason I didn't have the necessary permissions on the binary representation of the file, and fixing this corrected the problem. I still don't know why I didn't have permissions for only a few files while the majority of files were accessible to me. The files in question weren't newly created.

Does that make sense? Only to me? P.S.: Unfortunately I have no say here and SS is and will be our version control software.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
