This works, thanks!

In several cases, I've had to break the svn lock days after it was set. (I'm guessing this problem happens when someone's computer crashes, leaving the svn server thinking they still want the lock.) It's also worked fine with our XMLMind version 4.6 installations. I suppose the problem could arise if there was a large discrepancy between the clock on the svn server and the clock on the computer running XXE (like a day), but I don't think that's the case. (I just created a dummy file in svn, and the svn timestamp checks out ok.) Mike Maxwell -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
