    Check-in Dialog Word and Excel Files

    Evan Hala
    Offline Evan Hala 2 months ago

    How can I get the check in dialog box to prompt for word and excel files when checking in like it does for the PDF files?

    When editing word and excel files in ProjectWise the files checkout fine, but when closed for checked in we are not prompted with the "Check In" dialog box to provide the option to "create new version during check-in" and instead are prompted just a yes/no for check in.

    *We do get the dialog box when checking in PDF files though.

    I have tried enabling the PW_CHECKINOPT setting in the mcm.user.cfg file to be "undefined" by both typing in undefined and leaving it blank but was ultimately not successful. 

    #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # Variable:
    # PW_CHECKINOPT
    # Description:
    # Controls whether or not exclusively checked out documents are automatically checked in when they are closed.
    # Value(s):
    # undefined - Show checkin dialog.
    # 0 - Don't show checkin dialog and don't Check in the active file.
    # 1 - Don't show checkin dialog and Check in the active file.
    # Default:
    # Disabled, set to 1
    # Purpose:
    # Customization
    # When to enable:
    # When don't want to show the checkin dialog.
    # When to disable:
    # When want to show the checkin dialog.
    # Remarks:
    #
    # Related Variables:

    #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PW_CHECKINOPT =

    Thanks,

      Try to right click and "Open With" make sure it is using the 'ProjectWise Integrated option"

      We often find the Pwise loses this default and we have to reset by going to Tools =>Associations => Program and looking for the correct program
