VB6 IDE Password Invalid

Tom.Wells · Post by **Tom.Wells** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 12:04 pm

After upgrading from 2.0.6 to 3.1.8 some of our developers have to enter their passwords every time they start the VB6 IDE. They get an invalid password message first then the logon dialog. They can either hand type the password or select from the list of profiles. There is no "Automatically connect using this profile" checkbox on the IDE logon dialog.

Once a project is bound to a particular repository/database path, there's no need for the option to automatically connect to a repository. So we've taken that out in Vault 3.x. However profiles may take some tweaking in VB 6.

You might need to delete and recreate the profiles. There's a profile file in the user's C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\SourceGear\Vault_1\Client directory and profile info may be written to the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file.

Or, You may need to manually add the profile info to the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file.

Our problem was that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file did not contain the user's profile. I removed the readonly flag and hand edited the file and now it works. They also had the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file in Vault. I saw in another thread that it is not recommended to put that file in Vault.
