In the pending checkins tab, there is a button that says "Comments", and you can enter them there. Also, you can set VS.Net options to bring up a dialog during a checkin, and it will allow you to enter comments there as well.

See Tools->Options->Source Control->General, and there is a setting for "Display silent checkin commands in menus", and make sure it is NOT checked.

Note that this is a Visual Studio option and dialog - Vault is not involved at all VS tells it to actually commit the files.

thank you. That solved the problem. i actually saw this earlier but did not want to just go clicking check boxes without knowing what would happen.
