hi -
I understand how to check out an entire module with CVS DW - I enter all the info in that long Checkout config screen and CVS-DW pulls the entire module.. hundreds of files.

But in a day or two when I want to edit just ONE file, I want to checkout a FRESH copy from the server to work on.

How do I just get the file I need to work on from the server without pulling all the other hundreds of files? When I right click a file, it shows me the big Checkout config screen, and I have to fill in all the variables again and it pulls the entire cvs module from the server.

How do I just checkout a fresh copy of one file?

THANKS!

What you want is update, not checkout.
Checkout always get the whole projects, with different settings (like TAG, Date etc).
So if you want to get 1 file, you will use actual project what was used on checkout and then just select a file and CVS Update. This Update will get the file from CVS server and then when you have finished, you will need to use CVS Commit.
If you want to add a new File to actual project, you will use CVS ADD and then CVS Commit.
Hope this help.
