SYMPTOMS
Visual SourceSafe 4.0
If you rename a file that is checked out in Visual SourceSafe 4.0, and you
try to check it back in, you get the following message:
File "<working directory>\<filename>" not found
Where <working directory> is the working directory for the renamed file,
and <filename> is the new name of the file.
This behavior occurs because the copy of the checked-out file is not
renamed by Visual SourceSafe.
Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or later
If you try to rename a file that is checked out in Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or
later, the following message appears:
Unable to rename the selected file
If you try to rename a file that is checked out to another user, the same
message appears.
RESOLUTION
Before renaming a file in the Visual SourceSafe database, make sure that
the file is not checked out by any users.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
