One of my projects is mSQL backend, using MSAccess frontend, so we have some similar issues. to answer your questions the best I can: 1/ Not necessarily, you can just check out part of the project, but generally I keep the entire tree locally and do an update before editing 2/ If you make the module watched, developers must request edit permission (cvs edit) which effectively passes them a permission token. Then any user can use tortoise to do "cvs > show edited files" to know who (if anyone) has the token. 3/ I would, and do on my projects 4/ Kinda depends on what you need to know - With respect to our database code (in access) I implemented an export class that exports all queries, classes, and modules to text files in an ".\Export" folder and I keep these in cvs. This way I can use viewcvs to see code and sql changes. To get sql exported, it must be visible in the access frontend.
