Hi guys

I have some files in VSS, which are checked-out of a user.
Unfortunately, this user exists no more, and the files are still
locked. Other users cannot check out this files and edit it. How can i
force the files to be free?

(Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand it...)

Best regards

Dani,

Whoever has admin access, log into VSS using the admin user id. This will
let you undo the checkout of any user.

Hope this fixes the problem.
