                                            | Hi - I save any SP's that I work on into Microsoft VSS, and check out from VSS and update according in SQL Server 2005. The SP's in VSS are saved as both .PRC & .SQL files. The problem I have is that if another use takes the file from VSS and opens it, the file contains control characters but yet I do not see these when I open the same file. Is there a setting within SSMS that i can turn on/off to view these control characters?Thanks in advance |
