That worked perfectly! I think I was in fact getting caught by that double "t" in "DESTTYPE=DRIVE". Thank you very much. As usual, this group comes to the rescue in our time of need.

That threw me for a little bit. For example, to submit that same update to my LTO drive #2, connected to my "adstar" server, the command would be: UPDATE PATH ADSTAR LTODRV2 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=LTOLIB ONLINE=YES And in the syntax diagrams, you can abbreviate the commands to just the path shown in ALL CAPS in the diagram. Hope this helps.
