Hi. Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Additional Features, Section 4.2, 4.2 Starting the LyX Server. I am confused by whether in the path, in my case something like C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe the final "lyxpipe" reference is to a folder or a file? I created an empty folder C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe and defined the path as C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe but when I ran LyX received the debug messages: Setting debug level to 0 LyXComm: Could not create pipe C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe.in LyXComm: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. LyXComm: Closing connection I then tried naming the path as C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe\lyxpipe but the error was Setting debug level to 0 LyXComm: Could not create pipe C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\lyxpipe\lyxpipe.in LyXComm: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. LyXComm: Closing connection Any suggestions on where I might be going wrong? Thanks, Ken
