Response to issue1
 Here is a session of trying to Update to HEAD the problem file..
   Noting that I am the editor and I am the one trying to update..
================
cvs -z9 update -A -C -- CreateSQLTables.sql 
(Locally modified CreateSQLTables.sql moved to
.#CreateSQLTables.sql.1.3)
U CreateSQLTables.sql
cvs [update aborted]: cannot rename file _new_CreateSQLTables.sql to
CreateSQLTables.sql: File exists

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****
==============

Interestingly I was the one who commited the change to version 1.3 and
the head is now 1.4 but my local copy is still 1.3 shown in red as
altered... Spooky.


Response to issue 2
List the editors...
===============================================
cvs -z9 editors -- dbo.CDWDealer.VIW (in directory
P:\HSBCSuperOptions\Conversion\HSBCTakeon\)

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****
None.. So I choose to edit the file...

cvs -z9 edit -- dbo.CDWDealer.VIW (in directory
P:\HSBCSuperOptions\Conversion\HSBCTakeon\)

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

--- The file is STILL Read only.

Thanks for your help with this.
Greg

You can (and probably should if in doubt) always make sure you know
which one it is :)

Any decent GUI should show you the cvsnt commands it uses in a log
window of some sorts (WinCvs and Tortoise do this). Then you can take
the cvsnt manual and make sure the commands should do what you want them
to do. If still in doubt, you can then try to re-create your problems
using the commands from the GUI log (or simplified versions of them) at
the command line.

Could it be that you have a sticky tag on the file? That would have this
result.

only.

This could be the result of settings on the server and/or command
options at the client.

AFAIK it shouldn't be. Could you try to condense this in a command line
session that shows all relevant things and paste the whole session here?
