how do you reverse a camera path?

I have a scene in which i built a pretty in depth path but when I asigned my camera to the path it immediately attaches itself to the end of the path so it animates backwards... how or what do i do to get the camera to start at the other end of the path.

I assume you are using a path constraint?

By default it starts at 0% and goes to 100%, you should be able to select the camera and just rearange the keys or scrub the slider to the starting and ending frame of your animation and change the 'percent along path' parameter on the path constraint rollout to suit your needs. I'm guessing that you could also change the vertex indexes of the verts in the splines so that it reverses that way as well....

If it is in max and you are using a spline, you can reverse the path order too. There is a button for it in the edit spline rollout somewhere.
