Hi,
Being able to edit the file doesn't necessarily mean that you're
getting an automatic check-out (especially after you've verified the
setting).
Do this:
- Do a "Get Latest Version" on a file that you know you haven't edited
- In Windows Explorer, check if file's Read Only attribute is checked.
If it's not, then you'd be able to edit the file and get a warning
during subsequent check out that you have a writable version.
There is a setting that you can double-check
VS2005-ToolsMenu-OptionsMenu-SourceControlNode-PluginSettingsSubNode-
Advanced Button-LocalFiles tab-Use Read Only Flag for Files That are
not Checked out checkbox
But most of the times I've seen what you describe happen regardless of
this setting... it seems to be some kind of bug during "Get All..."
It was happening a lot under VSS6.0c/d w/ InterDev.
Much more rarely under 2005 versions.

That did the trick. Thanks! Don't know why that flag had been turned
off -- I wasn't experiencing this on earlier projects using VSS 2005.
Thanks,
