Backslash-t is a tab character, so you're trying to chdir to C:<tab>will, which is not a valid path name. Use a forward slash, double up the backslash, or use a raw string literal: os.chdir("c:/twill") os.chdir("c:\\twill") os.chdir(r"c:\twill") HTH, -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
