Project stays checked out from server

[Spunky]

Please help. When I edit and save a project it stays checked out and I have
to go in under administrator and check it back in. This started a couple
weeks ago. Before then it checked back in as it should. Why have some
projects (ramdom) started staying checked out after editing, saving and
closing?

Spunky --

In the future, please post your Project Server questions in the
microsoft.pubic.project.server newsgroup, as this newsgroup is devoted to
the Microsoft Project desktop application only. To answer your question, no
one will be able to give you an absolute answer why a project gets "stuck"
in checked out state. We recommend that you click File - Close instead of
clicking the Close button (X button) in the upper right corner of the
window, as this seems to reduce the number of times that projects get stuck.
Also, if you are using Project Server 2003, please stop asking your Project
Server administrator to check in the stuck project for you. Do it yourself
on the Project Center page, where you will find the "Check in my projects"
link near the bottom of the sidepane. Hope this helps.
