FrontOffice - unable to "Check In"

Windows 2003 Server
TeamSite 6.7.1 SP1
FrontOffice 5.66 (Build 66920)
Workflow Modeller 1.0.0 SP1
Word 2003

Upon a reinstall of the FrontOffice client and server (both running on same server), am unable to "Check In" as the menu item remains greyed out despite all combinations. The user in question is also configured as an Author, Editor and Administrator on the branch.

Ideas?

Any out there with thoughts on this? Bueller?

My first thought was . . ."people still use Front Office?"

Sorry to be of zero help ;-)

Yeah, that is a good question though. Has this product gone the way of the dodo?

No TFO is not dead. It has been updated and released with every release of TeamSite.

There is certainly a market for it, not a huge one, but in MS only shops, it offers some conveniences.

It's pretty telling though, when I post a question to support asking what the product roadmap is, if it is discontinued, etc., and they put the case into "research" mode for more than 4 days. You would think that product roadmaps would be easier to access.

I do not think so. Roadmaps, unless they are publicly announced, usually require a non-disclosure, which a support guy cannot do. You would be best talking to your local sales critter and getting the information from them.

You can also see if the TS PM can help.

Fair enough. I guess I was hoping only to find out if the product was going to be supported past Office 2000. Thx.
