I have a user that has left the project, and he has files still checked out, what can I do as admin?

Thanks.

PS I deleted him as requested.

Tomavery,

according to me you can do "Undo checkout" as Admin on the files.
In that case you may not have his changed files.
Otherwise locate his files and try to "check in" on them.

Madere.
 
Tomavery,
In the open database, select (highlight) the checkout file, click the SourceSafe Menu item and select Undo Check Out... This is the method I use, since often times I'm not sure if he has any changes that are valid. It puts the file back to its original condition prior to it being checked out. Then you can check history or run a show differences with a backup.

Is there a command line option to "undo checkout" for multiple files on one person?
