Mike,

Issue resolved. I was shown the glories of OnStartPage and do not need FoxISAPI. Thanks for the help, it was a learning experience.

>>4. I then reread the MSDN doc (past the Foxweb example) and saw the FoxISAPI commands like "Status" and stuff. I thought, "aha, a way to test FoxISAPI itself and narrow down the problem." I tried http://localhost/scripts/foxisapi.dll/Status and got the 500 error.

Is there any information on the error page that you get (there should at least be a clue)? If foxisapi.dll were in the wrong directory, you'd get a "can't find file" error, or something like it, so we know it's in the right place. My SWAG is that something in the Init failed. I'll have to check at work tomorrow to see what the possible failures are (home machine is so hosed right now).

>>8. It was at this point that I searched MSDN online for FoxISAPI+2000, wondering if there was a known issue with Win 2000.

>Heh, I have no life until we ship 7.0. Might as well send a few RTFM flames on the UT while I'm waiting on tests to run. :-) I'll check the foxisapi source tomorrow to see what we can do to get you running.
