Rob,



Thanks, I understand. I tried the ../c52cgi and it didn't change
anything so we put it back. I'm still stuck. But thanks for the
information.



Ron

I think you may have better luck on the web400 list. However ../ does
not

say start at the root. Those two leading dot dots mean start in the

directory preceding this directory. For example if your directory

structure looks like

mywebserver

mywebserver/html

mywebserver/pdf

and a link in a html file in your html directory says

../pdf/myfile.pdf

then it goes back up one directory to webserver, then drills down the
pdf

directory into the myfile.pdf file. Understand? I'm a babe in the
woods

on this web stuff but that's pretty much the directory structure I

inherited while maintaining my LUG website.
