Hi Barry,

This error can occur when the local view was deleted and recreated on the computer. The view ID is unique and when the file was added to the local view the relationship to the view ID was established.

Please reference the solution below:

S-019031: What can cause the warning “The file is checked out on another computer” to show when trying to check in a file in a PDMWorks® Enterprise file vault view?

Best Regards,
Joy

  Why would the Vualt View ID change when nothing changed and the vault view did not change? Is there away to restablish this? This sounds related to my mystery of the Bllueberry Icon disappearing.

    Hi Barry,
    
    Whenever, you recreate a local view (blueberry) it gets a unique ID. This ID is referenced when a file is added to a users local view.

  The vault View ID matches in the registry. Barnd new files as of Friday were created but not checked in. Now today the vault is confused.

    On this machine the Vault ID is present in the Desktop INI file BUT the ViewID is missing. Hmm.. The view was not deleted. Hmm.
