Hello, I work on a lot of data that is on a server for my job. Since I switched to ArcGIS 10, I have all the time the problem as in the attached picture.
I do not work with geodatabase, but with .shp on the server. When starting an editing session, I receive always the error message "no editable layers". I looked for solutions and read a lot on forums (like this thread http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/27600-no-editable-layers-and-can-t-edit-versioned...) and the only thing that seems working is to copy everything on the C drive. But that's not a real solution...
I did not have this problem with ArcGIS 9.3, and because I work in a company, it is important for us to have our data on a server!

Does anyone have a idea? Thank you!

I have a similar problem but I am using file geodatabases. The geodb is on a local server. I've noticed it tends to happen when I have lots of layers in the map (not sure if it is the multiple projections of different files that could be causing the issue - this is the only thing I can really put it down too). My dataframe and geodb are in the same projection.

There are no permission issues (I administer this particular local drive).

The only work around I have is to close ArcMap and reopen a blank map. Then add the layer I want to add (and maybe a few references layers). I can then edit the geodatabase no worries.

I also can't copy a layer from one map to a new blank map ... I will have the same issues with no editable layers.

Anyone else have any thoughts?? Resolutions??

I only have a little bit of server experience but are you sure they are Feature Access enabled? If not, republish with Feature Access in order to edit.

Closing ArcMap and restarting solved my problem on this issue. Anyone know why?

I got the same problem.  It was found that it was due to the crashed SDE DB.  After re-building the DB and creation of the version, the problem was gone.
