In case you're still trying to get this to work (by the way.. VSS and 
Interdev don't play well together)... you need to set the source control 
within your FP extensions to "NONE" (this basically tells FP to not use 
it's built in version control).  Then, go through the process to add your 
project back into sourcesafe (*Note: I would use a new project name).  
After this completes, you should see that your project (and corresponding 
files) are now under source control.
