Hi "J"
I wasn't clear whether you had actually "added your project" to RoboSource Control yet. Once you do, then you can open the project from the database in the Rh authoring tool.
I have created a couple of Captivate demos and written and article on Adobe Dev Net that may help with the process. They are old and deal with older versions. However, the basics are pretty much the same even for the latest version.
The main thing to remember is to work within the RoboHelp application when doing any RoboSource Control related activities (check-in, check-out, adding projects, etc.)
Note: There are a lot of "moving parts" to the workflow. To get comfortable with it, you will want to create a test project and try it out first. Once you are comfortable with the process, it's not difficult.
