The Last Modified Time value is updated when you discard the changes when you check in a document in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2003 (910354)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. A document that has multiple versions exists in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services document library. Document versioning is enabled for the document library. You check out the document and make some changes. When you check in the document, you click Discard changes and undo check out. In this scenario, when you view the version history of the document, you notice that the Last Modified Time value for this document is the time that you discarded the changes when you checked in the document.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because document versioning is enabled for the document library. When document versioning is enabled, Windows SharePoint Services does not store a copy of the last modified version of the document when the document is checked out. Therefore, the Last Modified Time value for the document is the time that you made the most recent change to the document, even if you discarded the changes when you checked in the document.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
