Problems with Checkin

[tshad]

I have been running into a problem with a file that I have not been able to
fix.

The file is on both local and remote. I can see it in both places in the
site panel as well as windows explorer.

I can open it from both local and remote site views.

But if I try to open it from the local view I get an error that says it is a
read only file. When I say check it out anyway, I get an error that says
Checkout failed as it doesn't exist on the remote site (which it does). But
it opens the file (with the green checkmark). I then check it back in
(which works) and I get the lock symbol (showing it is readonly).

When I try to open it again, I go through the whole thing again.

I also tried going to the Site/Advanced/Recreate Site Cache. But that
doesn't seem to help.

I also tried Putting it, which appears to work, but then I go through the
same thing when I try to open it.

What is the problem here? The file absolutely is there in both DWs Site
views as well as Windows Explorer (as I said).

This is getting very frustrating.

Thanks,

Tom

Also, I tried synchronizing with the remote server putting file trying to
have it put the files from my local machine to the remote and it shows the
file. Shows it being put. I close the program open it again and try to
synchronize again and there it is again.

I can do this 10 times and it will always find it.
