Error when trying to do first commit to TFS

• 
  Hi @vjacob1,
  
  That error is a TFS error; have a look at these articles for help on correcting that.

  Also, for committing other code alongside your database changes, you may need to link to a working folder that is a part of a local workspace as described on this page:

  Kind regards,

  Alex,
  Thanks for the response.
  What is the difference between using a working folder compared to using TFS??

  Hi @vjacob1,
  
  I think my colleague may have sent you this already, but the difference between using TFS and the working folder would be how the commit to TFS is done. 
  
  Using the SQL Source Control integration it would be done there from SSMS wtihin the product, but using the working folder, SQL Source Control just saves the changes to the files into the working folder that is located in the workspace and you would need to commit those changes outside of SSMS/SQL Source Control however you normally would.
  
  Kind regards,
  Alex

  Thank you for the clarification - with the working folder
  How would I commit the changes to TFS - I would need to just do that in Visual Studio like any other file
  is that correct?
  
  I would like to have the automated commit , is there anyway to fix the error that I am having?
