Hello,

when I perform a diif between a checked out file and the version in Vault I can interactivly merge changes by clicking the green marker beside the changed line. However when I click on the marker an error message "Target is readonly" appears. What is wrong?

Regards,

Alex

By default, the diff tool brings up both files in a read-only state, so you can't apply changes from one file to the other. To change this, you would need to go to Tools->Options->Diff/Merge, and take out the /ro1 and /ro2 arguments, which make the file read-only.
