That worked! THanks Chris. So you can't have spaces in the path name. I will need to report it as a bug, or get my slide dev environment working so I can fix it.
If anyone still knows the sequence of events that take place, that would be great. I would like to write it up in a FAQ entry.

Try a path without spaces maybe, like C:\\Domain.xml. I'm using Slide on Solaris, but I had various problems with paths containing spaces in such situations under Windows. -chris _______________________________________________ /=/ cmlenz at gmx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
