I've done what you suggested and it does work fine.

Since I've got the echo on I can see all the command lines and the outputs
as they are as they are executed.
The only lines that don't seem to work are the ones involving xcopy.

You state that you use postcommit I'm using postcommand since the
documentation states that postcommand is the perfered method and postcommit
is largely depricated and the postcommit doesn't exist in the default
installation.

Is there any significant differences between the two, other than postcommand
gets run for all commands?

I would test if the batch file runs at all by changing it to this:

@echo off
echo First parameter= %1
echo Second parameter= %2
echo Finished test....

If you call this from postcommand you should see the feedback every time you
do a cvs command on the server (since postcommand runs for every cvs
command).

If this does not work then you have to check why.

I have a server where i set up a postcommit call to a batch file much like
you did. This batch file does this:
E:
CD /Test/WWW
cvs update

And what I see on my commits is that the cvs update command runs and updates
my test site. I see all the cvs feedback lines from the server coming back
to me.

So it is a very good test to check what is going on just to make sure you
can execute the batch script itself.

The documentation states that the default parmeters for postcommand actions
are the module followed by the command, I"m just relying on the default
behavior and it does appear to work fine.

I'll try the "net use" statement but I don't think that is the problem it
appears to be more fundimental to the xcopy (see my reply to Tony's post).

Thanks
