1) Create a Vs2003 new windows forms project
2) Add to the project a file, using the Link option of the AddFile form
3) Add solution to source control
4) You will receive an error

What version of Vault are you using? I could not reproduce this behavior with Vault 3.5.1. Can you attach a screen shot of the error?

Here are the steps I used:

1) Created WindowsApp1
2) Added a new form (Form2.cs)
3) Saved / Closed WindowsApp1
4) Created WindowsApp2
5) Added the existing item, Form2.cs using "Link File" from the "Open button.
6) Highlighted the solution, and chose Add Solution To Source Control. WindowsApp2 was added correctly along with the linked file.

A quick question - can you look at the Source Control Output? If you are using Vault 3.5, I'm looking for a message regarding "SCCOpenProject Method: The following repository path is already assigned to this working folder: $/SOME/FOLDER/STRUCTURE".

If this is the case, the current work around is to go to the Vault client, find the $/SOME/FOLDER/STRUCTURE directory, and remove the working folder on that folder only (do not remove the working folder on sub items).

Upon further investigation, it appears there is going to be a problem with projects with linked files and working folders.

If you have one or less multiple projects with linked files, then there will be no problem. If you have multiple projects with linked files, then you'll need to place the projects so they are not siblings of the same folder.
