log out from editing

[glndi]

I created a website for a client and gave him access to three pages for his own
editing. I have it set up so he can edit it with Contribute. One of the pages,
however, will not allow him access. He gets an error message saying I am
editing the page.

How can I sign off so I'm not editing? How do I know if I am signed off? As
far as I can tell, I am. Is there a setting in Dreamweaver? Contribute?

Thanks

Look for a file with the same name as the web page but with a .LCK extension on
the web site where you publish. Contribute creates these to track who is
editing a page. If the file exists, then delete it. Occasionally Contribute
creates these files erroneously.

The .LCK file may be on the users local system. I doubt that, since Contribute
is saying you are editing it, and not that he is editing it on another
computer. Deleting that .LCK file will correct the problem.

On Windows XP, the local copies are in Documents and Settings/{user}/Local
Settings/Application Data/Adobe/Contribute CS3/Sites/

That path may vary depending on the version of Windows or Contribute.

Thanks Elaine for replying. Yes, there is a LCK file. In fact, since setting up
this Contribute account I'm getting a gazillion LCK files, even on unrelated
sites. I can't figure out how to delete them because it doesn't allow me to
select the file. I haven't found any instruction on it either.

Any advice on that? How do you delete .LCK files?
