This directory does not exist because the session CVSNT is running in does not have a drive mapping. Note that you are seeing drive mappings when you log in only because you have previously used Windows Explorer to create the drive mapping and checked the "reconnect on login" checkbox. So when you log in Windows Explorer will recreate the drive mapping. But CVSNT is not running in your logged in session and it does not use the Windows Explorer, so the drive mapping does not exist for it. It is generally a BAD idea to try using a network drive for CVS repositories even though it has been reported that it can be set up, for example by using the \\server\share notation and the proper CVSNT user setup. /Bo _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
