As written in title, I'm looking for a way to set the initial option to "Check out and edit" instead of "read-only" when I open a document in document library.

Going around many sites, I can not get any idea about it. Hope someone can help me.

Thanks,

You could require checkout on edit in the library itself.

Here's how:

  1. Go to the library you want to apply this to.
  2. Go to the Library tab -> Library Settings
  3. Go to Versioning Settings
  4. Require Check Out -> Click YES.

  • Thanks for your reply, but what I want to do is not to force user to check out document on edit. I already configured as you say, and when I click document link in document library, a dialog will be shown with two option; "read-only" or "check-out and edit". the default is set to "read-only" but I want to set "check-out and edit" as default. Do you have any idea? – Toste Dec 29 '12 at 00:18
