I do in fact have a cvs.exe running. I'll try to kill it and see if the problem goes away. Tks for the info. BTW... I believe the sequence of events that caused this were... I edited a file, tried to commit the change and that failed because someone else had commit another change. I did an update on the file, which resulted in it trying to merge two versions. The merge operation never completed. Tks again. Dwayne Keith D. Zimmerman wrote: >In my experience this was not the case - but I would have to recheck >that.
