    It looks nice, but I cannot find any settings for source safe. How do you connect to a source safe database and check in/out files?

      In the Server Explorer (press F8 if its not open), expand a server so you can see the databases. Right-click on one of the databases and select Source Control->Add database to Source control.

      This action will present a dialog where you set up your vss connection. In the [Database] field browse to the srcsafe.file. In the VSS project path enter "$\". This will create a new project under $\LocalHost\Databases\Northwind (example).

      QueryCommander does not add all items to vss be default, this is only done when you check out an item.

      When you work with items you simply right-click on the database object and choose [check-in] or [check-out].

      Good luck!

      Pointing out the obvious
      the $\LocalHost\Databases\Northwind path assumes the server is localhost and the database is Northwind. A more accurate description would be:
      $\[servername]\Databases\[databasename]

      I followed this and successfully setup the connection. 

      However, when I right click a table, I can only do a 'checkout' operation.  If I choose this, I get a 'file or project not found' in the call to Get_VssItem().

      Any ideas?  (Using 3.0.0.6)

      What about CS-RCS integration, Is it possible?

        Sorry, I'm not familiar to CS-RCS. What is it?
