How do I open a RoboSourceControl Project in RH

Question

Hi GuysI setup RoboSource control, added 3 existing projects and checked in all files. I go to RoboHelp and select open project -> Select RoboSource Control -> Select the connection -> Browse to the root folder ($/ProjectName) -> Select a local folder (I assume this is the checkout location)All it then does it open a regular File Open Dialog. What am I missing? Surely I don't have to use the RoboSourceControl Explorer to check out projects?Regardsmark

Hi MarkNot sure which version of RoboHelp you are using but it probably doesn't matter. Take a look at this Adobe Captivate demo I did a long time ago.RSC-OpenProj1stTime_demoIt walks you through the process step by step. Oh, there's another one I did on placing a "virgin" project into source control for the first time.RSC-Add1stTime_demoIt might be a bit different if you are using SVN or SharePoint, but the process is the same. Check it out and let me know.ThanksJohn DaigleAdobe Certified RoboHelp and Captivate InstructorEvergreen, Colorado303-949-3361www.showmethedemo.com

Thanks JohnFixed it. I'm using RSC for my source control. I created the projects in RSC with Explorer. I deleted them all and used add to version control from RH and after that they checked out fine. I also updated the RSOMiddleTierService.exe (see here: Re: Opening a project from version control)
