vss check out for edit problem

It's VS trying to reformat the HTML when opened. It's a common
problem/complaint. They aren't disconnected nor are they out of synch, it's
just VS trying to "readjust" it when you open it.

between the html portion and the design portion of the file, and I can't

There is no "cancel" button?

Hmmm... weird, that might be something different. Maybe I've misunderstood.
Try viewing the copy in VSS through the VSS viewer and/or textpad. See how
they compare. If the server does indeed have the right info do a "get
latest" on your project to ensure synch.

Thank you. I did what you suggested with the comparison and found that VS was inserting a lot of XML 'stuff' into the html portion when I went to Design mode. So we just rolled it back to the earlier version in vss and this seemed to clear everything up. I also then changed my default options settings in VS under text Tools/options/editor/HTMLXML/Format by unchecking all the check boxes, so this wouldn't happen again. This seemed to clear up the problem. It must have been all the default stuff it was inserting that caused the problem.

Thank you so much!
