Thanks Robert. I find we prefer what we are familiar with. Since I am not familiar with anything I can make Subversion what I am familiar with. ;-) What I have also found is that Microsoft's "technical support" is about as useless as tits on the proverbial boar, so the fact that there is no "tech support" seems irrelevant. In the end we end up going to a forum somewhere to get support. Thanks for your input though. We shall see if anyone out there is using (or wants to use) Subversion. Robert L.
