You don't need the port since it's default. You don't need the C:/CONVEX stince you specified a repository prefix. NB: The repository prefix prepends itself to any repository passed. So, if I created a repository in c:\convex\myrepos, and had my repository prefix set to c:\convex, I would use: :sspi:myserver:/myrepos to access it. Note that sspi doesn't require a login, it's the easiest to setup and use. > How do I specify the windows device name so it does not get confused with > the port number? You don't need to, that's the point of the repository prefix. However, in general you can do so with // in place of : like so: :sspi:myserver:/c//convex/myrepos -- Glen Starrett
