checking whether the project is already checked out or not using
CanCheckOut(projectname) function. but every time it returns false value even
though the project is not checked out.

Sub IsCheckedOut(ProjectName)
If Projects.CanCheckOut(ProjectName) = True Then
MsgBox "You can check out the project"
Else
MsgBox "You can not check out the project"
End If
End Sub

That code looks alright to run in VBA, so is the ProjectName value correct.
Try opening the project manually then testing:
?Activeproject.name in the immediate window to compare.

First the Projects collection is a collection of projects that are currently
open in Project Pro, not all of the projects on the project server. So for
this to work you would need to open the file readonly then check CanCheckOut
method.

Hope this helps
