Suppose a guy who checked in many files in the different folders and subfoldersat some time.
Is there a way to find these files instantly?
Don't use one by one check, it is low effiencent.


Thanks

Hi Ardmore,

As far as I know, there is no switch to filter the Date property, if you want, I think you can try to use VSS Reporter tool as Alexandru suggests.

Hi Ardmore,

As far as I know, you can use Visual SourceSafe Command line to get the history of one user with following command line:

ss.exe History -U<Username>

If you want to get all files of a particular user check out, you can use this command line:

ss.exe Status $/ -R -U<Username>

For more information, please refer to:

• Command Line Commands
• Command Options

I want to find all files of a particular on a particular day.
What is the proper command?

Suppose the user is "huser", day is "10/01/2009".

Have a look here at the VSS Reporter tool. It works for Visual SourceSafe 2005 as well.

Yes. I am sorry for unclear statement.
In the server, there are several database. If I use ss.exe, does it mean that the opened one is selected?

If I don't open any database, how can I execute this command?

Please help me to find out what is wrong below?

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe>ss status
 $/ -r -hzhao
No VSS database (srcsafe.ini) found.  Set the SSDIR environment variable to the

Hi Ardmore,

This issue is possibly related to many versions of VSS existed in your machine.You may try to use "set ssdir" command to set the VSS Database path. Please refer to this similar thread for more information:
