When you close a file that is checked out from either a Microsoft FrontPage Web or a SharePoint team Web site that is using built-in version control, the file remains checked out. A Web administrator cannot check the file back in for you. The file remains checked out until you check it in.
The built-in source control in SharePoint Team Services and FrontPage 2002 is designed to be a light-weight source control solution.
To use advanced features, such as versioning and administration, use Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. For additional information about Visual SourceSafe, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Manually check in the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- As an administrator, log on to the Web server locally.
- Run Windows NT Explorer and locate the folder containing the document that is checked out.
- Open the "_vti_cnf" subfolder of this folder.
- Locate the document that has the same name as the document that is checked out and open it in Notepad.
- Locate the following three lines and delete them:
- vti_sourcecontrolmultiuserchkoutby:
- vti_sourcecontrolcheckedoutby:
- vti_sourcecontroltimecheckedout:
- Save the file and close Notepad.
- If the Web is open in FrontPage, refresh the Web.

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.
