i think i have the sandbox all screwed up. i tried the above and after the update -r <branch> the file still had a sticky tag. like i said if i do an update -A , edit, and commit, it commits to the trunk revision, not the branch revision. i guess i'll see if i can delete this test from the repository and start over. thanks. lee
