How to disable merging

[StevenBlack]

Using SOS 4.2 Long, long time SOS user, and I'm now considering ditching it out of exasperation

I want to absolutely disable merging. How do I do that?

Currently I am getting endless messages such as the one pasted below my sig.

I NEVER merge. I don't care about merge. Store this version, dag nab it! Please help me make SOS work without fanfare. Currently nothing works, no check-ins are possible regardless of what I do,

Thank you.

You can right-click the file, select Merge - Resolve Status, and that will change the status of the file from needing a merge to just edited. Then if you check it in, the file will overwrite what is in the database.

Another way of dealing with it is to disallow multiple checkouts in the VSS admin tool. If you aren't running into the merges with others checking out the same file, then let me know.
