And what is in the CVSROOT/postcommand script? If any of these contain references to a program where a path specifier is used it might result in this if you use backslashes. But only if one of the folders or the actual program starst with a C. Maybe you use my CVSMailer? In that case the loginfo file might look like this: DEFAULT C:\Programs\CVSMailer\CVSMailer.exe .... And here you get the error due to the folder and file start. Change this to: DEFAULT C:/Programs/CVSMailer/CVSMailer.exe .... and you should be good to go. BTW, which version of CVSNT are you using on the server? /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
