Visual Studio + Crystal Reports + SourceSafe = Auto Check

I have a simple VS2008 project with multiple crystal reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 (outside of Visual Studio). The solution is added to source control (Visual SourceSafe 6.0). Now every time I open the solution, all reports are checked along with the corresponding cs files. There are no changes to the files, so I can just undo the checkouts, but this is very annoying. Has anyone encountered this problem and is there a solution?
Edit: Here's a full description of what's going on:

  • Created several reports with Crystal Reports 2008
  • Created a Visual Studio 2008 solution with only one project and added existing reports
  • Added solution for SourceSafe and tested all over
  • Closed solution
  • The solution is open (only this, not the reports) and the reports are checked without changes
    This behavior is not only for me, everyone who works on the project has problems.

After some googling I found which on the MSDN forums. My problem is identical to the one discussed there. The specified solution is to update Crystal Reports. I'll try when I have time.

Edit: Yes, this has been fixed! :) For those with the same problem - just download and install the latest service pack from the Business Objects download page.

I know this is not a solution to your problem ... (I see you found it), but use a different source control system ... it solved a lot of the problems we had (we even had corrupted files with vss). MS is also holding on to 6.0 (I don't think any improvements will be released).

We made the change a year ago, after another VSS corruption issue, and my only regret is that we didn't change faster, that's a delay!

I personally use:



Ask anyone who tells you that staying with vss is a bad choice ...

Just my 2 cents I wanted to give you.

Do you have reports open in the designer?

You may need to narrow the question down a bit to see what the problem might be

  • Does this happen with other projects? It might be a VSS issue.
  • Have you tried running diff on the extracted cs files to see what might have changed? Perhpas VS launches native tool in report files to recover cs files
