Moving VSS database and keeping old files

[Rachefur]

I'm in the process of testing connecting to a VSS database that has been copied to a new server. The old database will eventually go away. My hope was that I would be able to keep the old working folders and files. I tried the following:

1)Opened the new database through VSS explorer
2)Kept all old working folders and files
3)Got the latest from VSS to the old working folders

This was not successful. When I get the latest, all local VSS files (e.g. mssccprj.scc) change to the new location. This gives the appearance that the new connection will work. When I open up the project, however, it still sees the old location. My code is ASP.NET. Am I trying to do something that is not possible?

I have had success after clearing out all of the local files and bringing down the latest from VSS. I was able to keep the old working folders but not the files.

We will be migrating a large number of developers to the new database. I was hoping to make the migration as simple as possible. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
