How to unprotect a module

[jerry1970]

VB6 with SourceSafe, User Control (.ctl) file is checked out, but I still can't edit it. The person who made the project under SourceSafe is no longer working here.

VB6 Help says: "You tried to edit a protected module. Remove the protection from the module, and then try editing again."

How do I unprotect a module?!

Thanks!

Although you can't edit it, you should be able to read the file.
Just copy and paste the code to a new module and DONT add it to sourcesafe.

Look in the directory where the source code is and delete the *.Scc files. this will remove the SourceSafe protection. - Jeff Marler B-)

Use source safe admin to change the users password.
Sign in as that user.
Find all files checked out by that user.
Select all checked out files.
Undo Checkout.

Now you don't have to worry aboiut it any more, for any file the X-employee was involved with.
