Thanks for the suggestion Nello.
Unfortunately, the permissions must be fine because IIS will launch one
(*any* one of the CGI applications) without any problems. It's only
subsequent CGI apps that have problems.
I have modified the code so that it reports all error information to me,
as well as the Session information. Curiously enough the PRIVDIR and
NETDIR settings of the default Session component are blank, so I assume
that they are defaulting to something useful (such as current directory
and the BDE Admin setting for NETDIR). Also, the current working
directory is (drive):\inetpub\wwwroot, which I have also tried changing
to something that is definitely accessible to everyone, but without
success.
I wouldn't have thought that the PRIVDIR or NETDIR settings would have
made a difference though, as those are s'posed to be for Paradox stuff,
not ODBC/MSSQL.
I'll look into the permissions for the anonymous user again but, from
memory, I actually gave read/write/etc. permissions to "Everyone", which
should include IUSR_*
Regards,
Bevan
