<Local file> is writable, replace?

This warning has the following cause and solution:

• There is a writable file in your working folder with the same name as the one you are attempting to get or check out.

  When you get or check out a file, a new copy is written to your working folder. If you already have a writable copy, you may have made changes that will be overwritten. In this situation, VSS gives you some options:

  • Click Yes to overwrite the working folder file.
    
    
  • Check Yes All to have your choices in this dialog box apply to all other files you currently have writable copies of.
    
    
  • Click No to skip the operation for this file.
    
    
  • Click No All to skip the operation for all files you have writable copies of.
    
    
  • Click Cancel to cancel the operation.
