Hi Andy! Thy to add following parameter to the file and descriptors store in the domain.xml (I assume by your mail that you are using the TxFile store): <parameter name="url-encode-path">true</parameter>
That should solve the problem with backslash in windows file system. This will also solve some problems with UTF-8 compability. /jacob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Hewitson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Slide Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 1:32 AM Subject: Problem with slash in usernames in an NT Domain > Hi > > I'm trying to get Slide working in an NT domain.
