 Tim> Use a.FileOpen( "C:\\test.mpp" ) or a.FileOpen( "C:/test.mpp" )

or a.FileOpen (r"C:\test.mpp").  I like raw strings when dealing with
DOS style filenames.  That way I don't have to double the backslashes
and I don't have to remember whether forward slashes are supported in
that particular spot.
