.scc files not getting created for vb6 sp6

We are using VB6 with Sourcesafe on our main network, we also have two users that work via VPN which now use Source Off Site. If the remote user uses the main SOS client to get latest version (mainly used to get the Project for the first time) the mssccprj.scc and vssver.scc files are not created. When the user opens the project they then get prompted by vb "Would you like to add the project to SourceOffSite". But it is already in Source Control. What is the correct procedure to get code that is not already on a machine?

You are correct that fetching files with the SOS GUI Client does not create the necessary source control bindings for integration.

If a VB project is already in the VSS database, then the first time an SOS user retrieve the project, they should do it with the integrated client.

First, verify that SOS is your default source control provider. This option is in the GUI client under Tools->Options->General.

Next, backup or delete all the project files you got with the GUI Client from your working directories.

Open VB. Under the Tools menu choose SourceOffSite->Create Project from SourceOffSite. You should get a login to SOS and you can select the project from the project tree. Once it is retrieved via source control, the proper bindings will be created. The next time you open the project you can do so by opening the project via the VB Open dialog or by clicking on the project file in the working directory.
