HOWTO: How to Create a New Database in SourceSafe
This article was previously published under Q123467
Use the Mkss.exe in the ADMIN sub-directory to create a new SourceSafe
database by following these steps:
- Create a target directory for the new database.
- Run MKSS <directory>.
- Run DDCONV <directory>.
You do not need to use the following step with Visual Sourcesafe
version 4.0.
- Execute SERIALIZE <directory> -s<serial number>, to initialize the
database with serial number information.
If you need to move the resulting database, copy all resulting files and
subdirectories to the new location.
MKSS and DDCONV are in the WIN32 directory in Visual SourceSafe 4.x and
5.x.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
