Re: Help regarding Wincvs 2.0.2.4

Thanks You all for guiding me.  
I will surely read the basics of CVS now. 

I tried the way its suggested yeah i could commit back to server.

My project includes MS access(.mdb) files and some jpeg files and VB 
code.

Checking out works fine. I can open the VB code,can view it but the 
VB code tried to open MS access file and jpeg file. Its not able to 
open them throwing below error 

"Unrecognised file format." so cant proceed with this.  Could anyone 
help me how to over come this problem. Things are fine on server 
side.

Thanks
Smita
