SYMPTOMS
The Visual SourceSafe status.dat file size is larger than expected.
RESOLUTION
The fastest method is to rename the status.dat file, then run the following command at the command prompt:
DDCONV -S <Path to data dir>
DDCONV.exe is located in the VSS\Win32 subdirectory.
A less efficient method is to rename the Status.dat file, then run the Analyze utility with the -f switch.
