RollBack in VSS when you don't have rollback permission

When you don't have rollback permission, you can replace a version of file with the new version and keep the project running safely.

It's based on Visual Source Safe but the idea is simply general.

• Select the file in VSS Explorer.
• Check out the file using the Check Out command on the SourceSafe menu or by right clicking on the file and choosing the command from the context menu.
• Choose Show History from the Tools menu.
• To show the History of File, click OK.
• Select a file version which you want to back to and click on Get.
• In the Get dialog box, click OK.
• In response to the message asking whether to replace the checked out file, click on Replace.
• Click Close to quit the History of File dialog box.
• Use Check In command on the SourceSafe menu or from context menu which appears by right clicking.
