Database file in read-only mode

I frequently get this error message when opening projects in VS.NET that are under SOS sourcecontrol.

Please advise.

Both the SOS GUI Client and the IDE client write to the databaseX.sos directory, This is the client side cache file. It's possible something is locking that file.

Delete C:\Documents and Settings\mads.nissen\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS directory. And launch SOS again. it will re-create the structure.
