title: Why does Visual Studio want to check-out a File when opened?
body: <p>Why does Visual Studio want to check-out a File when opened?</p>
  
  <p>I just double click the file to open it and Visual Studio wants to check it out.
  I did not make any changes to it. I just opened it. </p>
  
  <p>i.e. In Solution Explorer I double click ctlEmployeeEdit.vb and the first thing Visual Studio wants to do is check-out that file. I got VS set up to prompt me on check-out so I normally say no to the check-out and then the control will display.</p>
  
  <p>We are using Visual Studion 2005 and Visual Source Safe 2005.</p>
  
  <p>We have a solution of over a hundred files and it is only happening on a hand full of them but that hand full seems to be getting larger, almost a mouth full now. (Humm I wonder if a hand full is larger than a mouth full? But that question is for another posting.)</p>
  
  <p>Also how can this be fixed?</p>
  
  <p>Should I delete my local copy of the solution and do another "Get Latest" from Visual Source Safe when this happens?</p>
  
  <p>I have the feeling some of you are going to say the way to fix this is to upgrade to a <strong>REAL</strong> Source Control producted. :)</p>
