    <p>I am adding a project to perforce via VS2010 but I keep getting this error <code>'file' not under client's root</code> for all the files in the project. I can't seem to figure this out. </p> <p>Here is what I am doing:</p> <p>1) Open VS2010 project which is not in perforce yet.</p> <p>2) I select add the solotion to perforce (from File > Source Control > Add Solution menu).</p> <p>3) I select a new workspace. It brings up the properties of the workspace. The root folder is default to c:\Users\My.Name. I change this to the folder where my project is. I also change the view so it points to say depot\main\new_project.</p> <p>It seems to have added the project but when I checkin file it just doesn't work! It give this error for all files that <code>'file not under client's root'</code>.</p> <p>I also go to perforce directly and check the settings of the corresponding workspace. In dashboard it display an error:</p> <pre><code>P4V is having trouble translating the location "c:\Users\user.Name\Documents\Code\My_Project" to a valid workspace location. To filter using this location, drag the folder from the workspace tree to the workspace folder field or include the depot location in your workspace view. </code></pre> <p>Can somebody give me any pointer why this just doesn't work? </p> <p><strong>Update</strong> My workspace mapping is this</p> <pre><code>Client: omega Owner: User.Name Root: C:\Users\User.Name\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Omega LineEnd: local View: //depot/main/omega/... //omega/... </code></pre>

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
