FP2000: File Is Not Checked in When You Close it
This article was previously published under Q229559
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.
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
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/ssafe/)
(VSS).
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.
Information regarding FrontPage 2000 can be found on the
Microsoft FrontPage
(http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/)
Web site.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
