Thanks. That is what I figured. I thought Fox compiled class libraries on the fly (as they are closed). I did not have the 'Recompile all Files' option enabled, so did not figure Fox would try to recompile a class library.

You can just have VSS always make the files writeable, but you've got to be careful because it's easy to make edits to the classlib/form outside the confines of a VSS attached project and then you might need to merge or move your current work to a safe place, checkout, move your classlib back.

Anyway, I have a project that contains a class library that has a form class that I am using as the parent to a form in a seperate project. The only way to get the second project to compile is to open the original project, check out the class library, then compile the second project then undo the checkout on the class library from the 1st project. I can't imagine this to be the designed behavior.
