DOH! Thanks for the reply. Yes, much to my embarrassment I figured out that CVSROOT is an innate module that you can check out about 15 minutes after I sent the email. Like I said, I'm new to this. Now, on to my new problem... My module has many files. When I attempt to check out the module it returns anywhere from 50 to 1000 files then presents the following error: ------------------------------------------ cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: cannot rename file _new_make_purchase.cfm to make_purchase.cfm: Bad address Error, CVS operation failed ------------------------------------------ It doesn't always error on the same file, and if I checkout the module again it picks up where it left off. Like I previously mentioned all machines including the repository are running Win XP. I'm using CVSNT (Obviously) on the server side and Tortoise CVS on the client side. My client is accessing the repository over a very reliable LAN connection. Searching has not yielded any helpful answers. Any ideas? On a side note, I'd like to kick off a batch file on a commit. I'd like to do this on every commit to a certain module not just for certain folders within that module. What's the best way to do this?

I can't help you with the shadow file itself, but with admin files in general. You should never work on files directly in the repository (this seems to be what you have done). The correct way is to check out the module CVSROOT into a sandbox (as repository admin), edit the file there, and commit it. "shadow,v" is a repository file (all repository RCS files have this ,v suffix). ".#shadow" is a merge backup file and should ever only be in a sandbox.
