FP2000: File Is Not Checked in When You Close it (229559)
The information in this article applies to:
- FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions from Microsoft
This article was previously published under Q229559 SYMPTOMS
When a user checks out a document using the Microsoft FrontPage 2000 built-in version control, the document remains checked out until the user checks it in, even after the file is closed. In addition, a Web administrator cannot check the document back in for the user.
CAUSE
This is by design. The Microsoft FrontPage 2000 built-in version control is designed to be a light-weight versioning solution.
For more advanced features that require an external program, consider using Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe (VSS).
WORKAROUND
To manually check in a file from the Web server, do the following:
- Log on locally at the Web server as an administrator.
- Using Windows NT Explorer, locate the folder containing the document that has been checked out.
- Open the "_vti_cnf" subfolder of this folder.
- Locate the document by the same name as the document that has been checked out and open it using Notepad.
- Locate the following three lines and delete them:
- vti_sourcecontrolmultiuserchkoutby:
- vti_sourcecontrolcheckedoutby:
- vti_sourcecontroltimecheckedout:
Save the file and close Notepad.Refresh the Web if it is open in FrontPage.
