Best method to open new project (VS2003)?

To open a VS2003 which already exists in Vault server (2.06).

Method1: "Open from Source Control" from within VS2003

Method2: Use Vault client, Get latest, Open the *.sln file.

Method2 doesn't work very well, VS complaints about broken Source Control not found. Even if we do "File, Source Control, Change source control", it seems not to work.

What is the recommended method for opening a new project? What should we do to make the Method2 above work?

Method 2 won't work with Vault - you have to do an initial Open From Source Control to create the bindings. After that, a Get will work from any client without messing up the bindings.

OK, lest's assume that the project has been properly opened the 1st time using "Method1: "Open from Source Control" from within VS2003".

The team lead has added 1 or more new projects into the solution. What do you recommend for "getting latest"? From within VS2003 or can we now do "Get Latest" from within Vault client?

Without trying it, I would guess you'd need to do a Get from within Visual Studio when new projects are added, since it will need to set up bindings for the new projects.
