If you get the up-to-date message then it means that someone else has committed a more recent version to the server than the one you staretd out with before your edits were done. If you "get the clean copy" then you will only discard whatever changes you have done, but you will still have the same revision of the file and it is not the latest revision. What you must do is the following: cvs update <filename> without any other options. This will get you the HEAD revision from the server. But if the file has been checked out or updated to a "sticky tag" then this will not work either, now you need to do: cvs update -A <filename> to get rid of the sticky tag. Once the file is on HEAD you can edit it and commit your changes. /Bo
