I tried several times from one PC, then moved to another and tried again using cvs95.exe which comes with TortoiseCVS (which is apparently a slightly older CVSNT client). Between these attempts I edited different files within the module... Are there any other files besides the history file on the server side which get modified during an update? Does cvs use the entire timestamp or round off to minutes or something...? Grasping at straws here. -Ryan
