If I execute in a comand shell what BorCVS tries to do
 >>>
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source>"F:\Progs\CVS for NT\cvs.exe" commit -F 
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\CVS106.tmp F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\M_F_Main.PAS 
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\M_F_Main.dfm
<<<
then  I get the same error:
 >>>
absolute pathname `F:/Bingo_Develop/Source' illegal for server
<<<

If I select the two files in WinCVS and commit them it shows
me this as the command which it executes:
 >>>
cvs commit -m "no message" M_F_Main.dfm M_F_Main.PAS (in directory 
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\)
Checking in M_F_Main.PAS;
E:/CVSNT/Source/M_F_Main.PAS,v  <--  M_F_Main.PAS
new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8
done
<<<
I noticed here that WinCVS doesn't have the absolute pathnames.

I selected "update/commit all files". Because if I do "Mark All" then BorCVS
again constructs a command with absolute path names.

Can't you just set the working directory of the BorCVS expert to my
CVS working directory (F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\) and then execute the
CVS command just with relative paths like WinCVS does ?
Or are you already doing so and I'm just seeing unexpected behavior ?
