URLs use forward slashes, not backslashes. Using backslashes can have unexpected effects since they're escape characters in a lot of the unix-oriented tools. However, more to the point, on CVSNT you generally don't include the drive in the CVS connection string, since, as you've spotted, it causes the number of colons to be wrong. There's a workaround for this - look in the cvsnt docs for "repository prefix". Its a server setting that prepends the windows drive info to the client's connection string. In your case, you could set the repository prefix (on the server) to 'D:/dept' and use the connection string: :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:P-ITSource ... or something like that. You should be able to test this out with the cvsnt command line client (ie cvs login). Hope this helps Baz
