Hi, I am also facing similar problem. When I try to take an edit for the file, cvs server refuses and shows that another user has taken it for editing. cvs edit -c -- abc.txt (in directory C:\Test\) abc.txt rrapplean Thu Oct 9 21:33:59 2008 GMT RRapplean C:\cvs\ cvs [edit aborted]: Files being edited! I tried using reserved edit, force edit but nothing worked. Can I forcibly unedit the file from server end or do I have to ask the user to explicitly unedit the file.

You can also use 'cvs edit' after working on the file, before committing the file. (This is a bit against the spirit of -kx and cvs edit, but it helps fixing your situation and doesn't do any harm if you know that your'e the only editor.) Long term solutions are either to follow Arthur's advice and use 'cvs edit' consistently as it's supposed to be used (TortoiseCVS can help a lot with this) or to remove the -kx option.
