Stop Automatic Connecting to RoboSource Control 3.1

I entered server url to connect to Robohelp Server using RoboSource Control 3. I also mark that it should connect to this server every time the project is started. It is the wrong URL and it does not error out or abend. I am unable to go in and unmark the automatic connect because the first thing it does it try to connect. How or where can I stop it from trying to connect to this url address?

System Attributes

    Robohelp HTML v8.02

    RoboSource Control 3.1

    Robohelp Server V8.0

    Webhelp Pro 5.50 (7.00.145)

    First of all you can not connect to RoboHelp Server from RoboSourceControl. RoboHelp Server is a hosting application that is completely separate from RoboHelp which can connect with RoboSourceControl.

    OK. Now that I've made that clear, I still do not understand your problem. Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? Is it that all your RoboHelp projects are automatically being added to RoboSourceControl?

    Whoops, that didn't come through - try again.

    PS - I would kill your auto-signature that includes your e-mail unless you like spambots harvesting it ;>)

    Hi,

    I use the following method for TFS when I want to temporarily disconnect a project from source control. I assume it will work the same with RoboSource Control.

    1. Make a backup of the project.
    2. Delete the CPD.
    3. Open the XPJ with Notepad.
    4. In the tags <miscproperties>, remove all the child tags (<matchedpair>).
    5. Save.
    6. Open Project with RoboHelp.

    The projet is now disconnected. By not removing it from RH, you can disconnect a project while the files in source control are retained.

    Greet,

    Willam
