I am unable to open additional databases. We have multiple VSS databases but I have been unable to determine how sourcesafe allows us to access more than 1.
In vss I go to open sourcesafe database and select which one I would like to work with.
Please advise.

To access a VSS database through SourceOffSite, you must add those database paths to the SOS Server Manager in the Databases tab.
Use a UNC path or just use the Browse button to browse to the location of the srcsafe.ini file for each database.
If the databases are not on the same machine as the SOS Server, use a Domain account (domainname\username) that has access to the machines and directories where the VSS databases reside. This configuration is in Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services->SourceOffSite Server->Properties->Logon.
Once these are configured properly, you should be able to connect to the SOS Server and see the databases listed in a dropdown menu in the SOS login dialogue.
