hi all,
I was hoping you could help me with this problem, as I'm dead in the water on this project until I can fix this.

I have a number of repositories that I connect to with VS.NET. They are all set by default, so when I open an existing project, it opens the correct repository by default (i think this is the issue here...), and I never have any problems.

So, in one solution, I had to branch. So I branched using Vault Client. No problems. So now I go to VS.NET (2002), create a new solution, and select "open from source control", as I want to open the branch. The SourceGear Vault dialog opens with a list of folders under a repository ($). The problem is that it's not the repository ($) I want. However, I cannot find the option to change repositories. Any suggestions?

(I'm speculating below, so feel free to tell me the correct way to fix this)
Now, I think I know how to fix it, I just don't know where.

When VS.NET connected to vault, it never prompted me for a login prompt. I think that's because along the way I was asked to accept some defaults, and I did. Hence VS is opening up this "default" repository. If I can some how get this login dialog back, I think I'll be able to change repositories. So how do I get this login dialog back?!?!

Thanks,
Dave

I'm not sure the proper way to do it but one thing that should work is to change your password using the client tool, then when you try to log in, it should give you the prompt again. Then, either change the password back using the client tool or leave it changed if you want all the projects to give you the first screen again.
