vss check out for edit problem

I'm having an issue with editing of the html portion of an aspx page. We ar
e using vss.
In VS, I checked the file out, made a small change to the html page of the a
spx page, and checked the file back in and closed VS. Now, when I go back i
n to VS, and open that solution, it right away gives me the "Check out for e
dit" dialog box, for that f
ile, but without the 'cancel' button - just the 'check out', 'edit' and 'hel
p' buttons. There now seems to be a disconnect between the html portion and
the design portion of the file, and I can't seem to get around it. I've t
ried wiping out my working
folder and starting fresh, but still get that same error.
Thanks for any help!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.

Thank you so much for that. Just one more question: Is there any clean way
to get out of it when that dialog box pops up? It only gives me 2 options,
'edit' and 'check-out', neither of which I want to do typically, I'm just t
rying to open the app and w
ork on something else.
thanks again

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 w
as inserting a lot of XML 'stuff' into the html portion when I went to Desig
n mode. So we just rolled it back to the earlier version in vss and this se
emed to clear everything up
. I also then changed my default options settings in VS under text Tools/op
tions/editor/HTMLXML/Format by unchecking all the check boxes, so this would
n't happen again. This seemed to clear up the problem. It must have been a
ll the default stuff it was
inserting that caused the problem.
Thank you so much!
