FINALLY!!! No matter what I tried I could not get the "send" command to work on my NT4/IIS3.0 via a certain cgi script. If I called a basic "send" script on its own via cgi it worked fine, the console worked fine...EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE... except the script I NEEDED to work. Here's what happened... My script was something like... the-script-in-question.r ;residing in the cgi folder... and had the following code... do %/c/remote-folder/file1.r ;a irrelevant script do %/c/remote-folder/file2.r ;a script that looks up the e-mail address do %/path-to-cgi/mail.r ;the mailing script that would send the mail This would not work, but if I called the mail.r script directly via cgi.. it would. THIS COMPLETELY BAFFLED ME. As it turns out, when you call a script in the cgi-bin it will execute normally... UNTIL the script LEAVES the cgi-bin to read or do ANYTHING! (as in going out to read file1.r and file2.r) When it comes back to the parent script (in the cgi-bin) it seems to have picked up a NO EXECUTE clause, and thus, would not "send" anything. The simple fix was to move the do %/path-to-cgi/mail.r to the top of the list as such do %/path-to-cgi/mail.r do %/c/remote-folder/file1.r do %/c/remote-folder/file2.r That only took a WEEK!
