Thanks, E. I had no trouble uploading books until I changed from a Gateway
Tower to a Dell laptop. I think it is probably the path, but I do not know
what to do about it.
At first I was trying to upload it as a RTF file, and it would either just
sit on accept until the page expired or I would get the error message, "not
a valid RTF file," even though I had validated it with msword.
Then someone suggested I try uploading it as a zipped file, so I named the
file "cypress.zip". When I upload it that way, I get the error message,
"problem copying the file".
On the old computer my path was always c:\windows\desktop\filename.ext. On
this one, it never says "windows" after C. The path I see now looks like
this:
c:\desktop...\cypress.zip
I have Windows XP with Jaws 7.0 professional and a DSL broadband connection.
If you need more info please tell me what you need to know. Thank you so
much.
Sue S.

What actually happens when you try to upload cypress point? What format do
you have it in when trying the upload? Perhaps we can help. What message
do you get. Have you successfully uploaded other books? Just asking so we
can all figure out what might be happening here. You are dilligent and we
appreciate it.
