Visual studio 2008 - Clearcase integration Checkout issue

Question

I've integrated clearcase plugin to visual studio 2008. I'm facing problem with unreserved checkout option with plugin.

I modified, TOOLS -> options -> Rational clearcase -> clearcase user options . I removed the check "Reserved" under "operations" tab. I click OK.

After this setting , I selected a file to checkout --> a popup asking for comments appeared , BUT , Reserved is "Checked" in that final window for checkout. What ever we do that check is not going off. Pleaase help . Context is Unreserve checkout option by default for all the files. I modified the setting in CCRC also to default unreserved checkout.

Thanks, Srinivas

I don't see any recent issue in this plugin in the Integration CC - Visual Studio page.

^{Note: the picture above is just here for general illustration.
It is not meant to say that you should click on the "unreserved, nonmastered" option: this is unrelated to your issue}

Can you check that the file is actually checked out in reserve mode after you click ok on the checkout dialog?

You can do this with a a DOS session, by going on the parent directory of the file, and typing:

cleartool ls

By the way, what exact version of ClearCase are you using?
Are you using a full ClearCase client or only the CCRC gui? (meaning a light client communicating with a CCRC server)
