Follow the below steps to resolve the issue.
---------------------------------------------------
1.) Search for oledb32.dll on the workstation and make sure it exists in this location. The default location is c:\program files\common files\system\ole db\oledb32.dll

2) Copy and paste the information below to Notepad and save as a .reg file. This will correct the entries in the Registry that are probably missing.

Its worked once! Meaning I could check in the file without errors or warnings. And now its broken again. I get the feeling its to do with SharePoint permissions. I'll get back to you on this!

Finally i got a solution:- On Web Server, i removed the WebDAV Publishing role service from the Web Server role on the server. That required a restart of the server (i restart IIS only) and after that i can edit files.
