Coworkers don't see database under source control

Hi,
When opening SSMS and looking at a database that I have linked with TFS in shared mode, they don't see the database as linked. They are presented with the linking instructions. Two other people see this same behavior. They are part of the TFS project team and are also members of db_owner.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Sam

Each team member has to link the database themselves. A link is basically just a set of files on your local machine that tell SQL Source Control where a repository is and which database to associate with it. As these files are specific to your machine, other users won't have these files so they will also have to link the database.
I hope this helps.

I came to this same conclusion today after reading the help article on what happens behind the scenes.
