Hi, Thank you very much. I am much clearer now. I thought any user can lock files as we do in Subversion (I am familiar with Subversion but I had kind of a query for CVS from a team which needed me to be clear on this)

CVS does not support workflows with a requirement for reserved edits. If you have a real business reason that requires a SCCM process that in turn requires reserved edits then try a tool that does support it, like CVSNT (Free/GPL just like CVS) or ClearCase. Note: CVS does have a 'lock' command - but it is administrative, not part of the non-privileged user workflow. Regards, Arthur Barrett
