I am keeping my 3rd party DLL's in CVS as well. I put all my 3rd party DLL's in a specific directory that is in my sandbox and reference them there. VS will automatically copy them to my bin directory when I compile. I also have scripts set up to compile my VS.Net application, and another set to deploy it. So when I'm ready, all I do is run "makeat && deploytest" to make AT (my application's initials) and deploy it to the test server. I'm still learning what works / doesn't work with that setup, but so far it's pretty good. When I have a distribution file I need to localize I set up a specific version of the DeployXXXX script, set some environment variable in it, then possibly use sed to edit files that need the localization (e.g. server & database name in a global.asa, the directory to copy everything to, etc.). I also have a makedb script that runs the commands to install updated scripts into my SQL Server database, but I handle that separate from the deployment process (it's a little more complex). That way, it's all done in an easily repeatable way. I'm interested in what others do as well--I'm certain there are things that could be done better. Hope this helps. -------------------- Glen Starrett
