Thanks for the fast response..... I appreciate the info, I think I understand how most of it works now.
I still, however, am not able to run the diff properly on any re- checked out revisions. I purposely have a revision 9 (my head), revision 6, and revision 3 bookmarked locally. When I hit diff, the only revisions that show up is my revision 1, which isn't even on my local machine. So when I compare, I get no differences since there is only one revision. I previously deleted the local originals of each revision before I understood the application. Is that what is causing the Versions not to recognize any of the revisions in the diff window? Clarification: All revisions can be seen in the history window and also when selecting a revision to view in the repository bookmark. So it seems odd that Versions would recognize my revisions in all cases, Except when trying to make a diff comparison. I did try erasing Versions pref file and app support folder and then set up the depository connection again. The above problem persisted. Thanks again for any help, I would like to get this down pat before I get too far into my project.
