How do I view when projects/folders/files were checked out in Visual SourceSafe history?

Currently to see the history I do the following:-

  1. Right-click on project in the
  2. Select "Show History" in context menu.
  3. Check "Recursive" and "Include file histories" in Project History Options Dialog
  4. Click Ok

I can see when files are "checked in", "Added", "Deleted", but no entries for the Check-outs.

  • Long time since I used source safe. Don't remember, seeing check out date, maybe you could show best endeavors and trap the event and log it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb509341(v=vs.80).aspx – Tony Hopkinson Oct 04 '13 at 20:43

Right-click on a file->Properties->Check Out Status. You should be able to find the check-out date info there.
