Files not checking out when editing

Post by DaveMS » Thu Mar 02, 2006 4:18 pm

I'm having a problem where when I go to edit a file, it is not automatically asking me to check them out. It will allow me to edit the files, while they have a lock on them, so this is obviously causing problems.. Any ideas how to fix this?

Are you using the Visual Studio integration client?

If so, it might be that the file is read-write on the disk, but is not checked out. VS would allow you to edit the file in this case without checking it out (note that VS controls when files are checked out, and usually uses the read-write flag to determine whether it is checked out).
