Either it's a hidden file (which doesn't show on the PDA) or you are
looking in the wrong area of the PDA. If you have a storage card, you
may have a "My Documents" area on that, as well as in the main device
memory. Where are you looking for the file? The drop-down box at the
top left of File-Explorer allows you to navigate around.

As I mentioned, "tap and hold" is the WM equivalent of a right-click,
and gives you a pop-up context menu. Drag across the key-text, then
tap-and-hold on the selected text; choose "Copy" from the context
menu. Then, in the WEP-key box, tap-and-hold in the blank text area;
choose "Paste" from the context menu.

Follow-up questions might do better in microsoft.public.pocketpc,
that's where the WM experts hang out.

I though there should be a pocketpc group but couildn't find it (maybe not
on news.orange.fr that I'm using here).

re where I'm looking for the file I was looking in my document in both the
PDA's memory and the storage cards memory as well but couldn't find it
though it shows on the PC.

Managed to locate the wordpad file and copy and paste to security key into
connection settings but it's still not connecting. I'm using the same
wordpad file as I use to get another PC to connect with after I tore my hair
out for hours as to why that wasn't connecting so the security key is right.

You could try completely removing the connectoid (go into wireless
settings, locate the correct entry, tap-and-hold, "Remove Settings"),
then set it up again from scratch.

Are you sure you're connecting to the right network?

My ipaq has four to six networks on the street to choose from,
make sure your trying to log into your network, not your
neighbors network.

My street is a main street with five networks in various houreses
plut another network at the fire station down the street.

I don't think the inhabitants of this street will have ever seen the
internet!
