We excluded the lockserver and file permissions issues - though that could be the cause this time. The last thing I asked Ryan to do was: (John - you need to update the repo and module/dir/file.fmb names to the correct ones). Try the following from outside any sandbox, eg: c:\ - I've numbered each command in case the e-mail comes out with odd linebreaks: 1. cvs -d :sspi:host:/repo logout 2. cvs -d :pserver:host:/cvsroot/repo login Password: <use your windows password> 3. cvs -d :pserver:host:/repo co -d /repo/module/dir/file.fmb 4. cd dir 5. cvs ci -f -m "" file.fmb 6. cvs logout Regards, Arthur
