Hi, Ralph,

Thanks for contacting Technical Support.

Are you using the GUI Client or the IDE client?

What version of VSS are you using?

In Visual SourceSafe 5.0, the OLE Automation component has a few
limitations.

These include: passwords longer than 7 characters, usernames longer than
15 characters, labels longer than 15 characters, and total path names
larger than 128.

Please let me know if this does not fit your situation.

Best wishes,

Linda Bauer
