Re: why does LabVIEW8 popup error message after i use Visual Source Safe as its sourc control?

Ok - here we go...
Started LV, connected to VSS. Opened up a new VI, dropped in a few SCC toys as you suggested with the following results.
Was able to connect and check file status. Very cool stuff - did not know it would be so easy to do this - this solves a problem I've been deferring - so thanks for that - I know have more work to do :) (I'm attempting to force strict revision controls on a library, so we can qualify it, deploy it, and during runtime (as an exe) verify that we are running a qualified library - unfortunaly vi server does not preserve this info - so I've developed a home brew scheme and have taken over the process of building the exe - but that's not getting us any closer - just me getting excited that I can now check the revision vi out, modify it, check it back in - run the build. Woo hoo!
Ok - back to reality here.
So - the SCC VI's are able to connect and play nicely with VSS after I set it up. BUT - when I went to save the VI, I got the same -2976 error. It did save the VI.
I then started LV again - did NOT connect to VSS, opened up the SCC vi I saved above, ran it, but this time, received an error - was not able to obtain the source control reference.
When I connected to SCC (via the tools menu of the VI), I got the -2976 error again, actually - I got it a whole bunch of times. Once I got past all the error dialogs, I then ran the VI, and it worked correctly, returning the status of the file I have under SCC.
FYI - when I exited the VI, got back to the Getting Started page, I checked into the SCC, and it now had the configuration. Just for chuckles, I decided to exit LV, get back in - and sure enough - back to <none>.
Thanks for your patience with this. Hopefully you'll be able to narrow it down. I'm still thinking that it may be related to an entry in the registry that is preventing the SCC from loging me in - such as a missing password. Probably just another red herring.
