Hi,

As far as Iknow, VSS doesn't provide any command to get the updated files.However, you can checktheDate-Time column to see if the file was updated recently.

Hi Ardmore,

As far as I know, to specify Modification inVisual SourceSafe set date/time on local files tab means setting the date/time stamp to the date and time when a file was last modified.For more information, please see:

It can't get to your requirement. So I would suggest you refer to Catherine Sea's suggestion.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Nancy

I heard that it can be done by going to "Tools" menu, then "Options", "Local Files", set date/time on local files as "Modification".

Hi Ardmore,

Or you can perform Show Differences to see which files were updated and get the changed files in Project Difference dialog box.

Thanks.

However, I think if I want to get the latest version, there is a button "Advanced" on the panel.

If I click it, I can only get the modified files.

Is that true?

Hi Ardmore,

I don't think VSS has such a feature. You may diff the project with the local folder, choose only to show files that are different in both places and get the modified files to local in the result window.

Thanks.
