STS: Cannot Check in a File After You Check It out by Using Built-in Source Control
| Article ID | : | 294421 |
| Last Review | : | January 31, 2007 |

SYMPTOMS
When you check out a file in FrontPage 2002 by using built-in source control in SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, the file becomes locked, and you cannot check it back in. If you close the file and reopen it, you receive the following message:
File name.htm
SERVER\IUSR_SERVER has this file checked out.
Do you want to make a read only copy?

CAUSE
When the anonymous user account is given permissions greater than browser only, users who open the Web and check out files do so as anonymous users. However, anonymous users are not permitted to check files back in, because that would defeat the purpose of source control.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, turn off author access for the anonymous user account. To do this, follow these steps on a SharePoint team Web site:
| 1. | Browse to the SharePoint home page. |
| 2. | Click Site Settings. |
| 3. | Click Go to Site Administration. |
| 4. | Click Change anonymous access settings. |
| 5. | In the drop-down list, select Browser and then click Submit. |
| 6. | Click Manage Users, and then add the users to whom you want to give author access. |

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.
