I had this issue recently in which our sharepoint hosting provider migrated our data from Sharepoint 2003 to Sharepoint 2007. It took a whole week for all the data of the site to be migrated. After the migration we found out that there's a lot of files on every document library which are checked out by default that means most of the users cannot view or utilize the file since it's being checked out by somebody else. This is an error by the sharepoint hosting provider during the migration. What took place next was an exchange of email and calls to their support staff and for 3 months nothing has happened. They promised that they will do the check in themselves (since it's their fault in the first place) but still no files has been checked in for several months. This prompts me to do my own research on how to resolve the issue. what I thought this issue can be resolved by manipulating things directly on the database programmatically but all along the issue can be resolved by using Sharepoint Designer 2007. I'm just confused why the support guys on our sharepoint hosting provider didn't bother to find a solution for us. I have created some sort of a guide on how to check in multiple files using Sharepoint Designer 2007.
