    <p>I hope someone can help here, we're having an incredibly annoying time with <strong>Visual Studio 2008</strong> and <strong>Visual SourceSafe 8</strong>.</p> <p>Basically, when anyone involved with the Web Application Project attempts to add a new "item" (eg. a CSS file) they get the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>An error or user cancellation occurred during checkout. Some files may not have been checked out. (File is exclusively checked out by another user.)</p> </blockquote> <p>If you click on "Details" in the box it says that [ourProject].csproj and [ourProject].csproj.vspscc are "exclusively checked out by another user". Except they're not checked out by anyone we know...</p> <p>Another infobox then pops up and says:</p> <blockquote> <p>The command you are attempting cannot be completed because the file '[ourProject].csproj' that must be modified cannot be changed. If the file is under source control, you may want to check it out; if the file is read-only on disk, you may want to change its attributes.</p> </blockquote> <p>Obviously we cannot check out the file [ourProject].csproj, as that's the problem we're having, and obviously (because the file is under source control) it has its READ ONLY attribute flagged. (If I unflag it then I can add files to project once again, but that doesn't seem like a good idea.)</p> <p>Does anyone know what we can do to fix this problem. It's obviously hindering progress at the moment and we're all pulling our hair out.</p> <p>Thanks for any help.</p> <hr> <p>Thanks a lot everyone, we switched to SVN!</p>
