Thanks Tony. Assuming you mean the lock service installed with CVSNT, the CVSNT service control panel shows it running. I get the same results if I turn it off, which would suggest that there is some reason why the CVSNT service is ignoring the lock server (set up with defaults, eg port 2402). I do see lots of files being created in the CVS temp directory in either case - does that indicate that the lock service is not being used? And if so why? I'd be happy to hear anybody's ideas. /df
