As Arthur said, CVSNT may not see the .bat file's return code but the cmd.exe return code -- which not necessarily is the same. I don't know cmd.exe intimately because I don't use it, but you can experiment a bit with it to determine how its return code handling works. Make sure you call your batch files with "cmd.exe /c <batch file>" and then check the return code of that command (which is different from running a batch file in the same session and checking its return code). If the return code passing should be a problem, you could also try running your scripts as .cmd files instead of .bat files, or set the ERRORLEVEL variable explicitly before exiting, or use a batch file compiler to create an .exe from your script (which you can call directly, without going through cmd.exe), or use a different script -- Windows Script Host (VBS, JavaScript mainly), Python, bash, 4NT, whatever.
