Thanks for the reply Andrea, I do actually use forward slashes when I create the new Store. i.e. Connection Parameters file:data/TIF/filename.tif
But when I look in the log file I get that line I mentioned before which has backslashes in it. INFO [store.panel] - Could not convert file:data\TIF\filename.tif into canonical form java.io.IOEXCEPTION : The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect I have used this file before with an earlier version of geoserver 1.7.3 and it was fine so I don't think there's anything wrong with the .tif file itself.

Have you tried using forward slashes? file:data/TIF/filename.tif Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing. Andrea Aime GeoSolutions S.A.S.
