Opening a page with FrontPage

Question

Why am I asked to check out the page when I attempt to open it with FrontPage?

Answer 1

why not?

The pages are managed with versions if you enable the publishing feature in the site. this prevents two people from changing the same page at the same time, overriding eachother.

 

Answer 2

For some reason, one of two people both having Administrative permissions can open the page without being prompted to check out and not the other. What would be the reason for this?

And, how do you turn the publishing off?

Answer 3

I dont think publishing is the problem - I think this is just how sharepoint works, since pages, like documents need to be checked out before being able to edit them.

I think there is an option for automatic check out, but I am unsure how it is used.
