Pinar,
Regarding my first statement:
Well ... I found out that you need to set the SSDIR env var to the
srcsafe.ini you want to open. Here's what I found in VSS's help:
"Setting the SSDIR environment variable tells VSS where to find the
SRCSAFE.INI file for the VSS server installation to which you want to
connect. Do this by typing the following at the MS-DOS prompt:
set ssdir=\\server\share\vss
Where \\server\share\vss is the folder where the srcsafe.ini file is
located."
As far as my second:
What I meant was to open a command-line window and, assuming you have ss.exe
in your path, extract the source code running ss get. You can see VSS's
help for running ss get. What I was trying to get at here was to not run
ant's vssget but just plain ss get to extract source code.
HTH,
Felice

Oh I am sorry about that. yes you're right it is on a different server!
What kind of configurations do i need to make. Is there any documentation on
that that i can use ??

I don't think that I understand what you mean. the error message Iposted in
my earlier message gets generated when I write "ant getcode" in a command
line.
