The "\T" in your file name is actually a "tab" character, rather than the two characters you think it is. You have three choices: 1. Double the backslashes: "C:\\Program Files\\TestApp\\Program\\EXLXL32.XLL" 2. Use the "r" syntax: r"C:\Program Files\TestApp\Program\EXLXL32.XLL" 3. Use forward slashes: "C:/Program Files/TestApp/Program/EXLXL32.XLL" Any of them will work. Choose the one that makes the most sense to you. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
