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

Probably a unicode issue. Do you have the sam O/s and version/service pack.
Check the editor options under tools.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

I've updated my version of VSS to match the other users and files are ok, not sure if this actually solved the issue because I also opened the file in question and pasted it into a new query window in SQL and saved it overwriting the existing file in VSS.
