hi,

just wondering where you're stroking the path. Try picking a brush first. Then from the Path's palette click on the little triangle that looks like it's pointing to the right to get the fly out. "Stroke path..." should be there. A pop out should appear after, choose "brush" for the "Tool:"
then click OK.

Hope that helps.

JJ, you are firing on all eight cylinders today for sure!

The only thing we would add is to make sure you have
a color selected (that is different from the background color) so it will show up, and make sure the opacity for the brush (or other tool) is set opaque enough to show up.

Thanks for your comments in other posts too, J.J. -- we really appreciate your help.

hey dunno if anyone will see this but i had the same problem and i just figured out the problem. if you go into the brush options palette that looks kinda like this http://www.agavegroup.com/images/articles/photoshopCurvedLine/brushOptions2.gif you will probably notice that instead of a preview of a long connected line you will just get 2 single circles. to change that click on "brush tip shape" and check the check box for spacing and then pick a value, like 1%. this will made the brush draw a solid line. now if you stroke a path it will be a single smooth line.

And make sure you are on a layer that is paintable...

Thank you PS 911 that worked for me ie pressing F5 for the brushes palette settings, ticking the spacings box and ensuring it was down to 1%
