John, The manager install and reload finctions work fine on 4.0.4 running on an AS/400 with a windows client. Your URL format looks correct and like the one I used. It took me a few trial and errors to get the format correct. Bill > > Hello - > > I've setup 4.1.12 on Solaris 8. > > I've given access to the manager app to my users.
