Hi, We have deployed TFS with sharepoint server 2003 (web interface) and using the single server setup for document and source code version control. We have discovered an issue that is causing some trouble in team which allows any user to checkin a document that is checked out by another user. Details are as follows: 1. "Checkout" a document using system 1 (user 1) 2. Open the document1 for "Edit in MS Word" 3. Change/update the document and don't save 4. From 2nd system login as user 2 and navigate till document1 folder 5. Right click on document, notice that user2 is having an option to "CheckIn" 6. Click on "CheckIn" (notice that user2 is allowed to "Checkin") 7. Try Saving the document1 using system 1 8. Notice that sharepoint displays a message "This document has already been Checked In and cannot be saved" I'm just wondering if there is any workaround or fix to this issue? Cheers! dapi

Technically, user 2 is overriding the checkout option and checking in the document on behalf of user 1. User 1 would need to create a new version of the document by saving locally and then upload a new document ands check that in instead.Regards John Timney http://www.johntimney.com
