The automatic check-out feature in VS2005 doesn't seem to be working consistently for us. We've tried various combinations of the "Tools->Options->Source Control->Environment->Checked-in item behavior" settings, but we still regularly see cases where we start editing a file and it doesn't get checked-out.
Are there any known issues with this?
Our current configuration is:
- VS 2005, Service Pack 1
- SourceGear 3.5.2 (Build 5087)
- Windows XP x64 (Running both server and client)
Thanks,

Can you check on the files in those cases and see if the read-only flag is set?
Visual Studio needs to send a command to Vault to check out the file, but it will only do that if it sees the read-only flag on the file. If people are opening the file straight from disk rather than opening VS first, or changing the flag, or setting some other setting that makes the file not read-only, then VS won't send the command for a check-out.
