project management for sharepoint + sharepoint for project management

We have another issue we need help with. We created an infopath form and published it to a sharepoint form library. The problem we are having is trying to have auto checkin/checkout on the form. We have two workflows to do this: The workflow for checkout seems to work but check in does not. Workflow 2, Checkin: looks at two conditions, Title is not empty and Checkout Status = No, Action is Check in current item. I have an on form open rule that changes the Checkout Status to “Yes” and submits form data (form is checked out). When the submit button is clicked the Checkout Status changes to “No” prior to saving and closing the form. After the form is closed the Checkout status field on the list shows “No” and Checked out to still shows my name. The workflow shows “Starting” Any ideas what were doing wrong?

I really like that kind of interesting twitter conversation. SharePoint rocks! Regards and keep up good work!
