[20040711] to reproduce: 1) create a new VSS workdir and set it up in the IDE using versioning manager 2) create a new project in the workdir 3) add project files into the VSS project 4) close the project & restart the IDE (not necessary) 5) create a new workdir & setup VSS in the IDE for it 6) checkout the project via versioning view 7) try to open the project from the new workdir => the folder is still marked as non-project - I cannot open it. Note that there are all files which has to be comprised in a project. I tried to copy the workdir content into another directory and then the files are recognized as a project. There is also a workaround - restart the IDE.
I went through the infinite pain of getting VSS work only to find that it works for me :-) I create a project in VSS working folder then set another folder, "Get Latest Version" and I can then open a project from the new working dir.
