I always have this problem - other users leave files out and they are always the ones I want - how can I can check in files other users have left checked out?

Any help appreciated
 
Depends on how it's set up, but I've been able to open the db & type in the user name I want, I check 'em in or undo & log in as myself

Otherwise you'll need to ask the db admin to do it.

Visual SourceSafe supports shared, or multiple checkouts. Exclusive checkout mode is enabled by default though. To switch a database to shared checkout mode:

1)Open your database in VSS Administrator,
2)Click Tools|Options and on the General tab, select "Allow Multiple Checkouts".

HTH,
