"having problems" still makes it sound like it was feasible at all, which it isn't... You'll seriously mess things up if you try something like that. So yes, that comment might be in order: Old-style Modules really work at the directory level only. The ability to only checkout some individual files from a folder should not be mistaken for the ability to checkout individual files wherever you like. > Also if you do this, you will have trouble tagging project1 because > you would also tag Project2 at the same time. Huh? There can only ever be one entry in each ./CVS/Repository file. In the above (horror) scenario the last module specified wins (if you even get that far that is - I never tried it - it might well fail on checkout already). It is technically impossible to tag two repository modules by tagging a single sandbox folder. > Why not keep the binary result of a project in a bin folder below the > source folder of that project instead?

While that would be my personal preference as well I don't really see much of a problem with keeping all binaries in a single place as Richard suggested either. The problem you outlined above only arises if you force files from different modules into a single sandbox folder. Forcing files from the same repository folder to different checkout targets however is totally unproblematic. Even more so is not overriding the checkout target at all...
