Thanks. I searched but I didn't find that. OK, I understand the issue now.

So, can you sketch that briefly?

Ditto. I was just about to mention that.

From that post: "VSS doesn't have folder versions, the import will create the folder structure in Vault and import each file, creating a new Vault version for every VSS version." This only applies to the VSS history. Anything created in Vault only will look normal.

I checked with the developer that wrote that reply and the user had apparently declined so it never got written. It can be placed into his work lineup, but that puts it to a few weeks out if you can wait that long.

Don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until I need it. Truth be told, if I want to pull an old version, I'll probably just fire up VSS and go back to the original (saved) VSS archive.
