Yes, it can work. But accessing a repository over a network share is NOT recommended at all. See here: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-repository.html#tsvn-repository-local-share Also, don't forget the performance impact you get. If your repository gets a little bigger, the slowdown accessing it over a network share could annoy your users and of course bring your network to its knees. Stefan
