Thanx.. I believe we now have it somewhat working so We'll just keep nipping away at it and see how it goes..

Thanks Again!

>I disagree on this point: when you have a large project, lets say over 1000 different objects (forms, classes, bmps, databases, etc.) in it, if you only need a couple of files to work with or you only need to get the latest version of a couple of files, it's sometimes easier and faster to do it through VSS.
