Detach My VC++ Source code from ClearCase

[Homer]

Hi All,

In my work place we are still using VS6.00 with C++ and are not
allowed to use a newer version (to connect to source control). We also
use ClearCase as source control software.

What I did was to install VS 2008 Beta 1 on my machine and made a copy
of my source directory to use VS2008 with it. I want to use VS2008
only as my editor and don't want to check-in/check-out with it (since
my company doesn't like it). When I open my project file using VS2008,
it somehow knows that I am using ClearCase and it's asking me to check-
out the project file to convert. How can I detach my source code
totally from ClearCase so I can open it as standalone code with
VS2008.



Thanks in advance,

Homer

File->source control->change source control
then check your project checkboxes and click 'disconnect'
That always works for me and Visual Sourcesafe. It should be the same for CC
I think.
