title: Cannot add SourceSafe Database as Visual Studio 2010 source control
body: <p>My issue is that I cannot add SourceSafe Database for source control within Visual Studio 2010.  </p>
  
  <p>Our team was initially using VSS for source control in Visual Studio 2010.   During an evaluation of TFS, I switched my source control to TFS. It will be a few weeks before a decision is made on TFS, so I needed to switch my source control back to VSS.   However I'm now unable to add a SourceSafe Database in Visual Studio.  </p>
  
  <p>Steps to Reproduce in Visual Studio 2010:
  1) Access the 'Open SourceSafe Database' form via Tools->Options->Source Control->Plug-in Settings-->Advanced
  or via File->Source Control
  2) The list of available database is blank so I choose 'Browse'.
  3) I browse to the srcsafe.ini file for my VSS database and select it.<br>
  4) I'm promted to confirm the Database Name - Click OK.
  5) The database does not appear in the 'Open SourceSafe' Database form.  The list of available databases is still blank.  </p>
  
  <p>Note that I can add the database fine outside of Visual Studio using VSS directly.   However the databases I add via VSS do not appear in the Visual Studio forms.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm suspicious that this is related to "down-grading" from TFS to VSS which may not have been heavily tested at MS.  </p>
  
  <p>Any assistance is appreciated.  </p>
