Q234839: MOD2000: Admin Can't Check In File with VBA Source Code Control

{% raw %}

Article: Q234839
Product(s): Microsoft SourceSafe
Version(s): ; WINDOWS:6.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kberrmsg kbdta
Last Modified: 02-MAY-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Office 2000 Developer 
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Admin of a Microsoft Visual SourceSafe database cannot check in files that
are checked out by another user. If you are an Admin and try to use the VBA
Source Code Control Add-in to check in or undo the check out of an object that
another user has checked out, you receive the following error message:

  The selected item is not checked out to you.

If you try to perform the check in operation in Visual SourceSafe Explorer, you
receive the following error message:

  File Not Found.

CAUSE
=====

The VBA Source Code Control Add-in does not support the additional privileges
that Visual SourceSafe gives the Admin user. Also, the add-in does not create a
separate file in the working folder of the source code control project when an
object is checked out.

RESOLUTION
==========

The Admin user can undo the check out in Visual SourceSafe Explorer, but all of
the user's changes are lost.
