>>Recently I began expeimenting with VFP/WEB integration using FOXISAPI and was nearly immediatly gratified! I was using PWS98 and after a couple of hours of poking and pushing got a nice implementation. However when I brought the project to work, registered the server, created the runtime environment on our WEB server I keep getting "FOXISAPI Error ....". I am sure the component is registered and functioning because I can instantiate and run it on the server in a VFP window, but no luck with FOXISAPI. To further test the theory I wrote a simple "HELLO WORLD" applicaiton and yet the same result! What am I doing wrong? Do I need to set some special permissions in IIS or what?

>One thing I noticed when building with FoxISAPI in NT Server / IIS is that you have to have the executable under the scripts directory (ex: C:\INETPUB\SCRIPTS\YOUREXEDIR). I don't understand it completely but I know that I too had a working EXE under PWS from (ex:C:\MYEXEDIR, everything worked) but when copied to SERVER / IIS C:\MYEXEDIR, it failed, same setup with FoxISAPI and DCOMCNFG permissions even set to administrative login. No luck. Once I moved it to C:\INETPUB\SCRIPTS\MYEXEDIR, rebuilt the exe, it all worked.
