Thanks Sasha and Eric, 

I'll look into project event actions, see if I can figure something out.

I agree with you 100%. Though we should say that DW does have built-in CVS 
suport. The way I see it, the simple method is only there for people who 
don't know better about versionning systems and want something working quick. 
From what I've seen, although we know it's not robust, it works reasonnably 
well for small projects and small teams.

That'll be great! In my case, A lot of people I work with are DW based so 
being able to work with them from Quanta is fantastic.

Thanks again,
Tim.
