Aargh! But then I looked at it a little more closely, and realized I was sending it to a directory which wasn't there (i.e. svn://localhost/cityfax), so I tried again: G:\>svn import e:\websites\cityfax\site svn://localhost/ -m"Original import" svn: Can't open file 'file:\\\g:\svnrepo\format': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. I even tried turning the slashes around on the e:/websites... directory name, but I got the same result. :( Thanks again for your assistance. A.
