Steve,

I liked your article, I have been wondering about SQL version control and will probably adopt some or all of your methods.

You mention that you hate navigating through lots of levels folders from the command prompt. This is something i have found annoying in the past one quick way round it is to put a short cut into the 'SendTo' folder that points to Cmd.exe. Once you have done this you can right click on any folder in explorer and select send to command prompt this will cause a command prompt window to open at the folder.

In W2K the shortcut should be:

Target: %windir%\System32\cmd.exe /k cd

Start in: %windir%

I also use this technique to register and unregister dll's

Cheers
