I think, for example, instead of "-d corp", you want "-d" and "corp" in your list. I usually make a string like I would pass to bash, and then do .split() on it to get the list. This works fine unless you need embedded spaces anywhere. Regards, Pat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
