Using Visual SourceSafe 2005, what do I need to do to tell VSS 2005 that the current version of code should be labelled (or whatever) so that after further revisions I can come back later and get the version of code that was labelled?

How to: Label an Item at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9e8x236w(VS.80).aspx, making sure you select a project/folder on the left side pane.
To label the current version of a file or project:
In Visual SourceSafe Explorer, select the file or project to label.
On the File menu, click Label.
In the Label dialog box, enter descriptive text in the Label box.
Optionally enter a comment for the label in the Comment box.
Click OK.

To get the latest version by Label
In the How to: Label an Item topic (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9e8x236w(VS.80).aspx) there is a link to the How to: Get an Item to Your Working Folder (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kh8hd2cw(VS.80).aspx) that describes how to get the latest version of a file or project and the latest version by label:.

@missico: how do you then "get" all files for the project that have a specific label on them? – CJ7 Jun 22 '10 at 05:26

@Amissico: you mean by not using VSS anymore? – John Saunders Jun 22 '10 at 06:54

@John Saunders: You funny. A regular programmatic-comedian. No, by asking questions that take more time then looking up the answer. – AMissico Jun 22 '10 at 07:11

@AMissico: that's explicitly permitted on SO. – John Saunders Jun 22 '10 at 07:19

@John Saunders: "explicitly"? I missed the part. In my opinion, Craig Johnston is taking advantage, because..."Please look around to see if your question has already been asked (and maybe even answered!) before you ask." – AMissico Jun 22 '10 at 08:26
