Adding new files in a team

Vault: 4.0.4

If I add a new Windows Form then Project is Check Out. I have to check in before anyone else kan make a new windows form in the project.

Is this default behaviour? It's annoying, we are adding items all the time, is there an solution or best practice? Of is something not intended happening?

Are you using VS 2003 or VS 2005?

If you are using VS 2005, are you using the VS 2003 plugin or the VS 2005 plugin?

VS plugin for VS 2005.
Sorry I should have written that.

When you add a new form, this modifies the project file, so the file is checked out.

If you don't want this to happen, you could working in CVS mode, which is edit, merge, commit. This means you don't have to checkout files before you edit them. This setting is in Visual Studio under Tools->Options->Source control->Options page->Advanced->Concurrent Development Style.
