This question is put in order to determine the CVS access method you are using. Therefore it is no use telling us what file path your repository on the server is located at. If you are using the CVSNT server then whatever path the repository is located on is hidden from the users by means of the repository name feature. With this any repository is given two locations: 1. The Root location used only by the server (e.g. D:\CVSREPO) 2. The repository name used by clients (e.g. /myrepo) Then the user would access this repository using something like: :sspi:cvsserver:/myrepo and he would be using the files at physical location D:\CVSREPO but this would be completely hidden from the client as it should be since it is a server implementation detail only. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
