we have a Novell 4.1 IPX system with a tree name of: SYMONS_CORP at least, this is what is displayed on the DSMERGE screen. which is the only place I can think of to see the name, as NWADMIN does not show it... however - when I bring up NWPOPUP on a WIN3.1 client, the 'tree' has a name of 'SYMONS CORP' - - no underscore I'll have to check and see what WIN95 shows... any ideas on who is right - ??

Both. "_" and spaces are equivalent. "_" are used as fillers. I don't like spaces so I don't use them. Down the road... you'll run into problems somewhere! ****************************************************************** Hansang Bae, CNE - Director of Network Operations, Eastern Region Richey Systems Main Office: (800) 776-5145 Fax: (301) 625-0771 hbae@richeysystems.com Reg.

According to Hughes and Thomas in "Netware 4.1 networks", a tree name may comprise A-Z (uppercase only) 0-9, '-' and '_', and it cannot start or end in an underscore or contain more than one adjacent underscore. So the actual tree name will be SYMONS_CORP, but for whatever reason NWPOPUP is replacing '_' with a space. Both spaces and underscores may be used in NDS object names, but if you create an object in bindery mode with an underscore in the name, the object appears in NDS with a space instead. John

(no space) so, it's NWUSER that is displaying the tree name incorrectly... (with space) nice - huh - Phil -
